What Can I Do for You?
  • Crafting a clean, concise, well-written piece that’s a perfect fit for its audience gets me jazzed; I aim to always give readers a memorable story while leaving the writing transparent. I love talking with people to find out what makes them tick, discovering what’s interesting about every place I go and spreading the word about good things in my community and beyond.  My passion is telling compelling true stories, whether I'm writing for clients, editors, or simply to satisfy my own curiosity.

    My professional ethic is to deliver clean copy on time and to give the same attention to detail to every piece, from one-page business letters to in-depth features, case studies and white papers. I also have an obsession with hunting down and eliminating grammar, punctuation and usage errors and rewording confusing copy. I love making editors' jobs easier and giving clients exactly what they need—even if they can’t fully describe what that is just yet.

    Since 1997 I've amassed dozens of article credits in Southern California regional publications including AAA Westways, Carlsbad Magazine, Encinitas Magazine and San Diego Family Magazine. As a copyeditor I previously edited Smooth Jazz News for five years and have copyedited two nonfiction books. I also blog about the intersection of mindfulness and environmentalism at KarmicRecycling.com
