I’ve been a writer ever since my lab partner in AP Chemistry told me they’d do the “all the science stuff” if I could just please write the report. I’ve been a writer ever since I got a B+ on a linguistics paper in college with the comment, “Most of the linguistic concepts in this aren’t correct. But this was the best written paper in the class by far.” I’ve been a writer ever since I got hired to the Customer Success team at ZenPayroll and started writing email templates between calls. 

ZenPayroll turned into Gusto, and I pivoted to building out a help center, creating marketing content, and writing product copy. I was able to learn close up how excellent writers create. Next, I struck out on my own, freelancing with a variety of finance and healthcare startups. I built up my expertise in payroll, insurance, healthcare, and other regulated industries. 

After the pandemic, I wanted to explore something new. So I moved to Tucson, Arizona to complete my Masters in Clinical Mental Health and Rehabilitation Counseling. I graduated as a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor. Simultaneously, I met my husband and moved to Northern Nevada. I worked for a couple years as a therapist, but always found myself returning to writing. 

In the fall of 2026 I relaunched my writing business full time. The tech landscape may be different than when I began a decade ago, but the fundamentals of effective writing never change. I am grateful to return to my truest passion – using language to explain, explore, and enlighten.
