Writing
One of my core competencies as a communications and media professional is writing. I am comfortable at every stage of the writing process and am multi-platform literate. My understanding of each channel’s strengths and weaknesses allows me to synthesize effective messaging. My expertise is derived from both professional and academic experience writing for: research science, concept and treatment development, web and blog, social media, speech and public performance, and screen. You can find examples of my work in each of these areas below.
