I have a proven ability to simplify the complex, extract insightful information, and get to the heart of a story. A willing and collaborative partner with award-winning editorial teams, I suggest distinctive formats, gather imagery, and navigate the fact-checking process to ensure accurate, polished copy aligned with each publication’s style. My journalistic work includes:
• Compelling features about business, societal trends, and groundbreaking innovations
• Dynamic profiles of elite athletes, Nobel Prize winners, entrepreneurs, and industry disruptors
• Enterprising work on human trafficking, medical research, and education
• How-to explainers discussing technology, operations, and marketing
But in the true spirit of quality writing, let me show, not tell.
