Q: "What kind of life do you want?"

 A: "An interesting one." 

I’m a writer with more than 15 years of professional experience, a lifetime of creative inspiration and a passion for storytelling.

It all comes down to the story; whether I’m chatting with people, watching on the screen, performing on the stage or writing for the page. I understand how to tell a clear, compelling narrative that speaks to the audience, the business and the platform.

As a writer, I love language, words and sentence construction. I’m also a content strategist, producer, communicator, collaborator,  a super-fan of The WB’s late-1990s television programming (e.g., the prosaically verbose Dawson's Creek, the rat-a-tat gabbing on the Gilmore Girls, and Buffy the Vampire Slayer's playfully subversive lexicon). I get excited about complexity, strategy, word-choice and punctuation.

When it comes to the story experience, I work as hard to create the perfect wording for something consumed by the eyes as I do to craft the perfect cadence for spoken delivery. Whether it's UX copy, journalism or creative writing, I weave ideas and intention into engaging, tangible content. 

My writing philosophy is simple:
Tell the story that wants - needs - to be told ... then try not to get in its way.

A former features writer and news reporter, I currently work in tech as a user experience copywriter and content strategist. I have a Masters in Media Studies from The School for Public Engagement at The New School in NYC and an undergraduate degree in Editorial Journalism and Communications from the University of Washington. I live in Seattle with my goofball pets and a ridiculous amount of "how-to" books.
