About Me.
(The short version)
(The long version)
I'm a freelance writer and content consultant with a specific interest in longer format, and technical writing. I provide a variety of writing services for direct clients and advertising agencies with multinational clients. I have a knack for gaining an understanding of complex technical, scientific, or medical subjects, and crafting it into conversational copy.
- Irritatingly attentive to detail.
- Love to compete with the clock (give me a deadline, please).
- Care about the Oxford comma.
- Simplifying complicated stuff is my superpower.
