After more than a decade in journalism and education, I now work as an independent writer and editor with clients such as Job Portraits (end clients include Google and Pinterest), Olive & Crane, and Craftsy. Running my own business allows me to take on a variety of projects—I specialize in employer branding for tech companies and recruitment marketing for international higher education, but also have experience in newsletters, email campaigns, curriculum development, and more.

Previously, as a full-time content editor at Craftsy, I developed original video classes in multiple categories and helped launch two key initiatives—short-form promotional content and a new script template—during my first three months on the job. As an executive producer at KVUE-TV in Austin, I won an Emmy for best newscast, as well as multiple awards for a months-long series that eventually prompted the removal of miles of cast iron gas mains. And as a consultant at Rocky Mountain PBS,  I helped the team reimagine and relaunch the station's public affairs programming and developed a new content management system for broadcasts.

I'm formally trained in both hard copy and online editing, and hold certifications from the University of California San Diego's highly regarded Copyediting Certificate program and the American Copy Editors Society.

My husband, James, and I live in Denver with our two less-than-brilliant but utterly lovable dogs, Beadie and Gus.
