I 'm a freelance writer, editor and creative storyteller living in San Jose, California with my cat and a couple of hummingbirds. It's a long way from my native New Jersey, where I spent my entire life — a new beginning. In writing, as in life, sometimes you need to scrap your early drafts and start fresh. Finding the right words takes patience and focus, eliminating extraneous verbiage until your text conveys the precise meaning. As a communications specialist, I can draw upon an eclectic mix of consumer product and real-world experience to bring fresh perspective to creating content. I've counseled clients in diverse industries on their day-to-day and long-term communication strategies and brand image, adapting my writing style to align with their corporate voice or to cater to a particular writing format. Give me a keyboard with a screen—or even just a pen and paper—and I can make words shine. If you're a business with content (digital or analog), you know it needs nursing, kneading, no doubt, before it's ready to post. I'll get the kinks out; I'm a word masseuse.
