I'm a voracious reader who enjoys science writing as much as a good novel. I love to be outdoors (even if Portland's weather isn't always the friendliest).
About Me
I love a challenge – particularly a complex, creative one. For over 10 years, I have worked as a professional writer, editor, designer, and Web product manager. During that time I have created effective communication and collateral for a wide variety of purposes, including marketing, advertising, and public relations. I consider engaging copy, accurate tone, and appealing graphics – whether print or interactive – to be vital parts of a successful message.
I hold both undergraduate and graduate degrees in writing, and my professional background includes extensive work in the fields of urban planning, landscape architecture, environmental planning, and energy (both traditional and alternative generation models).
I'm resourceful, adaptable, and independent, but I enjoy collaboration – especially with people whose skills and interests are very different from my own. I'm happiest when I'm learning from my assignment, team, or clients, or when I am working to make a project meet the highest standards of quality.
I may very well be just what you need.
