With a deeply empathic ear for audiences and an obsession over detail, I have 15 years' experience in books, academic writing and research, B2B and B2C copy writing, and cause-based messaging. In these roles, I have worked with media and built relationships with high-level government and corporate contacts. My specialties include writing for multiple audiences simultaneously, translating complex science and technology into human language, infographic and photo storytelling, and fair representation of non-dominant viewpoints.
I have earned trust with leading for-profit and nonprofit brands in roles at the intersection of helping companies make a philanthropic impact through innovative and marketable CSR models.
Having trained at Harvard Divinity School, started my own social enterprise, and served various causes over two decades, I am especially attuned to social missions and our cultural and personal need to make a difference.
I'm interested in stories, opportunities, projects, or conversations about what's going on in Seattle, in the world, or deeper in ourselves and society. Let's talk about that.
