  People are amazing! I have friends who are talented musicians, airplane pilots, and trauma surgeons. Everyone has a gift, and writing is mine.

I began my career as a journalist writing for radio, television, and newspaper before moving into corporate writing. As Senior Communications Representative for a nationwide insurance company, I specialize in content readability - making insurance documents easier to read and understand. I also head the company's internal employee website, creating content to inform, engage, and motivate employees.

I enjoy every facet of writing - the blank screen that offers a world of possibility as you type the first few lines, the search for the perfect adjective to make that sentence pop, or the thrill of finding a better turn of phrase you might not have considered if you hadn't proofread your work that final time. I'm passionate about writing (and I am an unwavering member of the Oxford comma fan club).
