Yes, I WRITE, but I also: EAT too many ice cream cones no matter the weather // TRAVEL whenever I can (20 countries and counting!) // HIKE for the best viewpoints in the Northwest // & obsessively WATCH old movies from the 1930s and beyond.
While writing is my primary outlet for creativity, I’ve found that too often creativity is misunderstood as a codeword for flashy flourishes or personal projects. In truth, I've polished internal policies and ghost written stakeholder letters as engaging as a magazine cover story and as challenging as a complex work of fiction.
My passion for writing drives my work in the spheres of marketing, travel, and strategic communications. I have crafted content for and worked on campaigns with non-profits, enterprise-level corporations, advertising and PR agencies, government entities, institutions of higher learning, and small businesses.
I have developed extensive knowledge of social media, video production, media relations, and destination marketing. My past work includes managing the PR efforts of Travel Portland's annual "Portland is Happening Now" campaign and leading the marketing team at Visit Vancouver USA.
After living abroad and working remotely in Mexico City, I have returned to the Pacific Northwest. In my current role, I lead the content strategy team for Direct Travel, an innovator in the corporate travel management sphere. In addition to writing, I offer remote services in editing, social media, project management and strategic consulting. Please contact me for more details.
