A former editor and public relations writer, I am currently a journalist for the Asbury Park Press, a daily newspaper with a circulation of more than 150,000. There, I am responsible for whipping out copy that is creative, concise, organized and error-free. I’m a stickler for detail who pays precise attention to company style, grammar, clarity and spelling.
As a public relations and marketing copy writer, I’ve shown a knack for turning the right phrase at the right time to persuade audiences ranging from medical professionals to consumers. At home I’m a voracious reader and creative writer, and have a keen sense for story flow and organization. A cum laude graduate with a Bachelor’s degree in communication, I’ve also won accolades for my academic work.
I'm ready to bring my strengths to work for you. Contact me for all your editing, proofreading and writing needs: manuscripts, admissions essays, resumes, press releases, marketing materials, professional documents, academic work and more are welcome.
