A little bit about me...

I'm a frosting-aholic. (Safeway cakes have the best frosting by far.) I love black-and-white photography. I'm most at peace sitting on the beach listening to the waves. I'm an old-school, die-hard Star Wars fan. (Give me Princess Leia over Queen Amidala any day.) I hope to write a screenplay or a novel or both. And my first writing gig was in the fourth grade when I won a blue ribbon for a poem about an evergreen tree. Twenty-some years (and a D in accounting later), I finally figured out that writing was my calling.

I’m a versatile copywriter and all-around word gal. I believe in straight talk and simple messages. Finding the right voice and the right combination of words are what I do best. I collaborate with all kinds of creative people and work for all types of organizations, from small start-ups to corporate giants. Take a peek at my portfolio to see my work. Or check out my (brief) resume below to see where I've been.
