About me

I like telling stories. So here’s mine.

I’m an Oregonian, a Scorpio, a singer in the shower, and a fan of puns.

I have a B.A. in English and an M.A. in Writing, with a concentration in Book Publishing. Both were obtained at Portland State University.

I successfully finished NaNoWriMo for the first time because I was deeply annoyed by an Arthurian Literature class as an undergrad.

I think forests are really cool.

One time I was eating at a nice restaurant and the napkin caught on fire so I dunked it in my water glass because I panicked.

My favorite color is green.

I love Dungeons & Dragons, Critical Role, making things, learning new crafts, and collecting very cool rocks.


 

Skills

I get to do a lot of cool things…

Here are some of the things I like to do:

  • Developmental editing for fiction and nonfiction.

  • Super-stealth-mode ghostwriting

  • Crafting sales pages that delight and entice.

  • Refining interviews and transcripts and creating case studies.

  • Copywriting and blogging (so that you don’t have to.)

  • Writing short stories.

  • Making tea and then forgetting that I made tea and accumulating several cold cups of tea on my desk for some reason.


 

Buds

…with cool people.

Here are some of the people I’ve worked with:

Let’s start something awesome together.
