copy & content. social media. other fun stuff.
I am a seasoned communications professional with a wide variety of experiences writing for the web. I'm an enthusiastic, creative and efficient writer. You might say niche media is my thing. I toggle in a most versatile manner between varied subject matter, including music, food, lifestyle trends, entertainment, education, healthcare and more. Let's work together to create something splendid.
