I recently dusted off this website and am in the process of updating it. Some of the links below are broken, and I’m aiming to add newer work samples soon. I appreciate your patience.
I love writing, telling stories and crafting messages. Over my career I’ve had the opportunity to do that in a variety of settings. I’ve served as director of communications for an educational nonprofit, run a news website, penned grant applications, written for newspapers, developed marketing collateral and worked in network news.
Here are writing samples from some of my work in journalism, institutional storytelling and marketing.
