About

I'm passionate about strategic communications.

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. Whether it’s to educate, enthuse or encourage to buy, I can help you communicate more effectively, more strategically, and more productively.

I leave my ego at the door.
My goal is to see what you’re seeing and to produce words that match your vision and support your communications and business objectives. When we get finished, I want you to say, “Yes, that’s it exactly!” If you’re not saying that, then I need to work harder to understand the vision.

I am flexible and resourceful.

I’m willing to take on long- or short-term projects. I can work independently or in collaboration with others in your organization. I can even pull in additional resources—graphic artists, programmers, printers—if needed, and manage the whole team for you.

I am a service provider.

When you work with me, you work with a seasoned professional who will provide her expert recommendations, not shove them down your throat. I can start with nothing and create something special. I can take information that’s lying around and turn it into something extraordinary. I intend to produce my best work for you—on time, on budget, and on target. I am working for you.

Give me an opportunity to earn your trust.
