about me
Before becoming a writer and content strategist, I was a litigation attorney for over a decade. In between those two careers, I took a year-long sabbatical. It changed how I viewed my future.
While it was bittersweet to walk away from life as an attorney, I did not leave those skills behind. My legal education and training prepared me well for a successful career as a writer and, later on, a content marketing professional.
Law school and the courtroom wired me for deep research and evidence-based thinking. I’m comfortable with complexity and ambiguity. Whether I’m interviewing an executive, digging into a technical report, or building a content roadmap from scratch, my job is to find the why, then translate it into something authoritative and actionable.
I’ve spent the last 15 years living and working as a writer and content pro across the globe, from Seattle to London to the EU to the Caribbean. I thrive on new challenges. Living outside my comfort zone has sharpened my ability to listen, adapt, and find the human angle in any story.
When clients need more than great writing, I offer services as a content strategist and head of content. I bring my senior-level, analytical thinking to editorial planning, content operations, and team leadership. I work with clients in several different ways: as a full-time hire, in a fractional capacity, and as a temporary resource when key content leaders are on leave.
meet my team
Every great operation has its support staff. Mine just happen to have four legs. They don’t invoice, they do get paid in treats. Most important, they show up every day…even if they spend most of their time napping.
chief of staff
Marley is one of the longest-serving members of my organization. She’s been with me for two international moves and begrudgingly accepted the recent addition of a board of directors. Hey, change is an inevitable part of growth, right? She was adopted from a local island animal shelter as a kitten.
She’s spicy, rarely amused, and judges everything and everyone. She doesn’t have time for your shenanigans. She definitely doesn’t appreciate the Board always in her business. I may do the work that keeps this ship afloat, but she runs the show. She never lets me forget it.

board of directors
When you find three bonded sibling kittens abandoned at the island dump, you can’t separate them. So you do what any reasonable person would do. You bring them all home to live with you. I had always wanted a black cat and put that wish out in the Universe years ago. Moral of the story: Be careful what you wish for.
Nyx, Jet, and Rook are young, they’re adventurous, they’ve destroyed every floor-length curtain in my home. They’re also funny, cuddly, and often hard to tell apart. Their main responsibility as members of the newly created Board of Directors is to execute cute office antics that keep my stress levels down (most of the time). They have the opposite effect on my Chief of Staff.

security detail
Bula and Sol are my seasoned security team. They’ve also been part of multiple international moves. They’ve even flown on their own private plane chartered just for them. Spoiled, right? Although they spend their days napping in my air conditioned office, they’re always on high alert for threats (real or imagined).
Both are typical island dogs and have barks that will pierce your eardrums (and the eardrums of those on the other end of a Zoom call). They can accelerate from deep sleep to full-on chaos mode in less than one second. All it takes is the sound of a car door closing a block away. It is their mission to keep me safe when I work from home. They get paid in treats.
