Communication Strategist
and Senior Copywriter
I believe that any message important enough to be printed, posted, published, or pontificated should be precisely planned, meticulously developed, and just as carefully delivered—no matter the medium.
My expertise spans the full communications lifecycle from discovery to delivery—including assessing communication challenges, developing targeted branding, crafting strategic messaging, and executing multi-channel campaigns.
I leverage deep agency experience combined with a solutions-oriented consultancy background to deliver precision strategy and exceptional copy—all while lowering my teammates’ stress levels.

“I’ve worked with Amy for the better part of a year, and during that time have learned and grown substantially as a copywriter; in large part due to her tutelage. Aside from taking the initiative to show me the ropes, she put in her own personal time into streamlining work processes, increasing the team’s efficiency. One thing I admire about her in particular is her tenacity; she’s never scared to roll up her sleeves to do the tough work, and she doesn’t call it quits until the work is done right."
Junior Copywriter, Havas Lynx
"I've used Amy on numerous occasions for assistance with strategic writing and communication projects including whitepapers, case studies, blog and newsletter articles, and a corporate brochure. She is intelligent, dependable, and conscientious. More importantly, she is friendly and approachable and has been able to connect with anyone in our company whom she may have needed to interface with on a special project. I really enjoyed working with her."
Vice President, Marketing, Franchise Services

More than being amazing at her job, she’s a wonderful presence on the team. Amy emanates a quiet confidence that puts us all at ease - if Amy’s around, you know it’s not just going to be ok, it’s going to be great.”
