I have a variety of experiences in journalism, public relations, customer service, tutoring, hospitality, childcare, and more that make me a well-rounded worker in any job environment. I’m currently open to remote freelance/contractual writing opportunities — let’s chat!
I’m particularly interested in and prepared for roles involving investigative/journalistic writing, tutoring (see Services > Tutoring), editing/proofing, and research. I thrive best in customer-and-client-facing roles that are fast-paced and produce meaningful products, people, and ideas. I create my best work under quick deadlines, clear instructions, and a professional work environment.
