Specializing in commercial advertising copy for broadcast, digital and web, promotional copy for social, website and bochures, and event scripting for award and corporate events.
My experience includes 12 years as a writer/producer for television, 3 years as marketing associate for a non-profit organization and 3 years as a freelance writer and social media advisor.
Starting out as a comedy sketch writer and a playwright, I learned early that collaboration, brutal editing and an empathetic sense of story are the building blocks of effective copy.
