For over a decade, I have dedicated my professional life to collaborating with travel companies, health and wellness businesses, magazines, newspapers, language learning organizations, hotels, and creative strategists for public affairs, using my writing and editing expertise to help bring projects, presentations, campaigns, reports, educational material, e-books, and articles to life. I am meticulously detail-oriented, highly organized, a master of style guides, and always up for a challenge. Every collaboration has been an opportunity to learn, grow, and build new relationships and skills. I am professionally where I am today because of the incredible clients and colleagues I’ve worked with so far in my career, and I am inspired to continue this collaborative journey of words.
