About my services
Copywriting and editing
The ability to properly target your marketing and public information materials is key to your brand. Conveying the right messaging in clear language connects you with your readers/clients and demonstrates a high level of professionalism. I’ll help you craft the right voice and messages that garner attention and trust.
Technical editing
Scientists, engineers, and technicians rely on me to ensure technical reports are clearly written, accurate, and convey information that is important to the target audience(s). My approach is thoughtful, thorough, and collaborative. I am equally comfortable working directly with the client, as a member of a project team, or independently.
Document preparation
Alongside the writing and editing process, I ensure that my documents are Section 508 compliant, and employ proper layout and style components. With strong knowledge of Microsoft Office, Adobe Acrobat, and template management, I am expert at preparing documents for final production for print or digital.
