copy editor | copywriter | merciless proofreader | screenwriter

United States

A copy editor, copywriter, merciless proofreader, screenwriter and story analyst/consultant, I've freelanced for a wide range of clients — from giants like Salesforce, Microsoft and Holland America to individual business owners such as realtors, nutritionists and fitness/lifestyle coaches.

I bring more than a decade of experience, an endless curiosity and a self-imposed high standard of excellence to every role I take on. I value collaboration, compassion and a creative approach in a team.

Strengths: a sharp eye for detail, learning and translating a client's brand/voice into effective, compelling copy, knowing the audience, flexibility and a willingness to jump in.

Weaknesses: donuts.

Editing WSECU's TikToks into concise bites for Instagram = FUN!

I love taking long form or medium form scripts and editing them down for time - it's like a puzzle. Find the message, find the best clips, make it fun and compelling.

Radio ads are my FAVORITE.

A small sampling of audio streaming ads I wrote for WSECU's successful Growth campaign. Such a thrill to hear them come to life!

Sound Experience

Dawson Place Fundraising Video

A script for an animated video dedicated to raising funds for this special children's foundation.

STEAMboat Studio
Learn. Explore. Create.

It was a joy to create the content for the STEAMboat Studio website. While these amazing classes sell themselves, I wanted to create content that would allow the viewer of the site to really SEE their child in these classes, and FEEL the foundation they were laying for their future.

A Parent's Review: 'Folk Treasures of Mexico' at Tacoma Art Museum

Halloween is my son's favorite time of year. He's only 4, but he delights in the spooky and fun spirit of all things ghoulish - the dancing skeletons, the idea of ghosts walking the earth for one gleeful night. He's none too pleased when the jack-o-lantern rots, the candy is gone and the Thanksgiving decorations come out.

Holland America
I LOVED proofing these E-Brochures

2016-2019, I was proud to be part of the 5-woman proofreading "dream team" for Holland America's Cruise Atlas! I have worked on their German, Spanish and UK books, and loved every OCD-satisfying minute of it.
