About

Based in the Wilkes-Barre/Scranton area of northeastern Pennsylvania, I work with local, national, and international businesses. I provide B2B and B2C content writing and copywriting services for technology, health and wellness, medicine, manufacturing, and other industries. I’m obsessed with writing. I have been for a very long time—over two decades, in fact. With a cup of coffee at the ready and an apple nearby, I use that experience to help your organization, marketing department, or sales team realize results that generate more leads, sales, and revenue. And who wouldn’t want to be a thought leader in their industry?

I’m a seasoned writer with over 2,500 projects, ranging from white papers and ebooks to blog posts and case studies . . . and more. I’ve written, copyedited, and proofread content for leading companies like:

  • HP
  • Trend Micro
  • Verizon Business
  • Rubrik
  • MikeWorldWide
  • Thomson Reuters
  • Trianz
  • Benco Dental
  • OPTiMO Information Technology
  • Welcom Software
  • Syntel
  • O2
  • Kable
  • Responsify
  • CPR Online
  • Accuvise
  • Viveve
  • iolo technologies
  • The Good Software Guide
  • Bluestone Software
  • Lobster Marketing
  • 1st Class Medical
  • Aal Chem
  • And many others

I’ve also been published in The World and I/The World and I Online, Projects@Work, and projectmagazine.com.

Before becoming a marketing copywriter, I was a senior business content writer for Thomson Reuters, an analyst and editor for The Good Software Guide, and Director of Public Relations for iolo technologies.

I started my career in the science classroom, where I had the challenge (and joy) of making complex ideas engaging and understandable for high school students. Every day, I had to take dense, technical concepts and turn them into stories, analogies, and examples my audience could grasp—and even enjoy.

That skill carried over into my work as a B2B writer. Today, I use the same approach to create eBooks, white papers, blog posts, and other marketing content that simplifies without dumbing down. My goal is always the same: to make sure every reader can understand, remember, and act on the message.

In an industry where jargon and complexity often get in the way, I believe clarity is the ultimate competitive advantage.

I hold a B.S. in Biology from Marywood University in Scranton, PA, and have done postgraduate work in Chemistry and Secondary Education.

Enough about me. Let’s chat over a cup of coffee (virtual or otherwise).
