Hello! Thanks for taking the time to get to know me. I'm an editor, writer, and coach. I help organizations improve their communications with coaching, customized instruction, and engaging tools. I also help other editors and writers succeed with thoughtful, encouraging guidance as they start their careers and identify their personal brands. Most importantly, I’m a lifelong student, which has influenced the trajectory of my career.

Helping Organizations Improve Their Communications

Throughout my career, I’ve helped organizations improve their communications. In my current role, I created a firm-wide newsletter to share important information and facilitate engagement across the firm. I serve as the managing editor and lead a team of cross-departmental contributors and write copy, ensuring all offices and team members are represented.

Additionally, I launched a formal coaching program to work with all team members to improve their writing. I also serve as a corporate writing instructor, in which I employ my MA in Writing Pedagogy to develop technical writing workshops.

Helping Other Editors and Writers Succeed

Since graduate school, I’ve been coaching writers and editors through a variety of formats: one-on-one sessions, panel discussions and conferences as a speaker, and events as a member of the University of Chicago’s (UChicago) Professional Development Certificates Student Advisory Board.

I enjoy working with editors and writers as they start their careers. I help them develop a strategy that leverages their backgrounds to gain experience and achieve their goals. I also help editors and writers identify their personal brands (check out my coaching resources).

Developing New Skills: Lifelong Student

 I’ve completed three UChicago certificate programs: Conscious Leadership and Team Management (2023); Medical Writing and Editing (2021); and Editing (2018). I love learning and am grateful for my educational opportunities. To pay it forward, I wrote and published a book to help college and graduate students compose papers using a time-saving method.

When I’m not editing/writing/coaching, I’m planning my next trip, attending a lecture, or listening to live music (check out my playlists!).
