The way you do anything is the way you do everything.
That’s important to me.
I’ve lived several lives (not in the reincarnation way as far as I know). A perfectly beautiful storm of life’s adventures and opportunities has culminated into a seasoned, thoughtful approach to my writing.
I worked with children, teens, and their families as both an “on the front lines” staff and a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in high-level treatment settings for 14 years.
While your content needs may not hold this level of gravity, I take what I put into writing just as seriously and approach it with the same level of integrity.
I used to own and run a coffee shop in Santa Cruz, California, and have had my hand in several different businesses over the years.
I understand what it means to pour yourself into making a vision soar.
I’m a completely single mom to a bright and beautiful (seven-year-old) baby girl.

I’ve been certified in Equine Assisted Learning and Therapy…
…and have spent the last six years living on a 40-acre horse ranch caring for about 40 equine friends (more on why this is a thing below).
I love copywriting and the written word.
It’s also a vehicle for manifesting my lifelong dream of having my own equine rescue program (horses and humans). It’s in the works, and as part of this journey, I currently support this amazing organization, Horse ReCourse.
Just another compelling reason to pursue what I do for you with dedication and commitment.
I’ve been writing and marketing online since 2013…

…And full-time with freelance writing and copywriting since 2017. Relevant, but not terribly exciting. That’s why it’s down here.
I’ve spent a portion of my freelance journey as a Virtual Assistant (with a focus on content services).
This provided me the opportunity to serve and learn about a variety of businesses.
What did they all have in common? They were all created and run by incredible human beings doing amazing things through their vision to serve their audiences.
I’m an athlete and have been for over 35 years.
I’m a former fitness competitor.
My superpower is capturing brand voice and connecting with an audience. My background as a licensed therapist was a great opportunity to hone my intuition and I’m really good at listening… one of the most important things you can do as a copywriter in my opinion.

I’m excited about thought leadership and talking about things in a way that others aren’t… or about things they’re not talking about at all.
What does this all mean for you? That I’m going to do more than just turn out excellent, on-point copy for you. I’m going to take a strategic, thoughtful approach to it and when you work with me you’ll know I’ve got you.
