ABOUT ME

Think of me as equal parts meticulous editor, shrewd strategist, and forward-thinking metrics fan. Anyone who has worked with me will tell you that I’ll do whatever it takes to get copy over the finish line, whether that’s writing it from scratch or editing a draft ten times. 

Hire me and you’ll find that I’ll shape and refine your copy in record time — and that I’ll be a stickler for both credibility and the finer points of grammar.

And I’m not just a word nerd. If you’re on the hunt for a manager who can build a fantastic team, get results, lead with compassion and intellectual rigor, and dazzle with slightly subversive one-liners, I’m your girl.

I bring over 20 years of experience to every bit of content I produce. As a journalist, I worked for KQED Public Broadcasting and wrote pieces for outlets ranging from PBS.org to CNN.com to The San Francisco Chronicle. I also wrote one of Salon.com’s most-read pieces in its history (back when people read Salon and it was cool).

Also from my keyboard: The Little Book of Heartbreak: Love Gone Wrong Through the Ages, which was hailed by O, the Oprah Magazine as “a hilarious salve for the lovesick.”


AREAS OF EXPERTISE

Startups • AI • Fintech • Healthtech • Climatetech • Femtech • Edtech


SERVICES

  • I’ve written and edited hundreds of blogs and web pages — and I know how to optimize searchable content with keywords that don’t hit readers over the head.

  • If you have a compelling idea for an article or book but the words are failing you (or you’re short on time), think of me as your genie: Make your wish list and I’ll write the drafts you need to nail it.

  • Aim high. Together we’ll identify your top competitors; from there, I’ll analyze their content and establish strengths and weaknesses. We’ll surpass their strengths and capitalize on their weaknesses.

  • Content doesn’t work in a vacuum; it demands an entire strategy that reflects your goals, creativity to surface topics, and a distribution strategy that works across channels.
