Content creation: Raising the profiles of people, places, and businesses

My specialty is putting your product, program, and purpose into the mind’s eye (and ears and hands) of your target audience. I help people and businesses communicate their unique offerings to their target audiences. I help create stories, promotions, and informational content and wield the tools needed to add the visuals.

 

I have been a writer since I wrapped my fist around my first No. 2 pencil, and now as a marketer, blogger, journalist, teacher, poet, musician, dreamer. Where I go, my back-pocket notebook goes. My writing has appeared in publications such as Lonely Planet, The Boston Globe, Yankee Magazine, Bark Magazine, Budget Travel, and a slew of newsletters, press releases, web pages, blogs, reviews, brochures, a travel app, and inbound marketing campaigns. Visit my portfolio to see some samples.
