Has journalism always been important to me?

For sure. I wrote, printed, and mailed family newsletters in middle school. My relatives were kind enough to not ask to be taken off the circulation list. 

 

Editing my high school newspaper and working on the newspaper at Washington University in St. Louis helped me hone my skills, and so did internships during college. After receiving a bachelor’s degree in political science, I earned my master’s degree in journalism from Medill in 1997.

Before becoming a freelancer, did I work on staff at magazines?

Yes! I very much enjoyed working on staff at U.S. News & World Report, Interactive Week, and Adweek, but freelancing fits me best.

What publications have I written for since becoming a freelance business journalist in 2004?

I've written for a number of consumer, trade, and association publications. They include AARP The Magazine, Bankrate.com, Data Informed, Diversity Woman, EContent, Entrepreneur, Independent Banker, Money.com, Photo District News, Popular Photography, Self-Employed, Stacker, The Rotarian, and WashU Magazine.

Which organizations have I written for as a freelance content writer and ghostwriter?  

I’ve gained extensive experience writing content marketing pieces for national brands like Acquia, Biogen, Culligan, Thrivent, First Citizens Bank, Waze, KeyBank, Costco, LiveIntent, and the U.S. Postal Service. I have ghostwritten thought leadership articles for prominent technology companies as well.

What are my strengths as a freelance writer? 

I’m a strong writer, interviewer, researcher, proofreader, and finder of great sources. My brand promise is to deliver clean copy on time.
