About Me

I have 15+ years of copywriting experience doing UX writing for websites, print collateral, social media, long/short form, and internal communications. My clients have included corporations, non-profits, universities, and agencies, including Accenture, Bank of America, Chick-Fil-A, Delta, Emory University, Goody Hair, Orkin, Think inc., Spanx, and more. My experience in consulting gives me a client-facing edge that many copywriters may not have. I am comfortable stepping into a team and working efficiently and effectively with executives, designers, programmers, and other subject matter experts.

In addition to my day job, I am also a published author by night with 18 planned children's books (HarperCollins and Penguin Random House) along with five self-published novels. This unique experience adds a level of creativity to my copywriting that results in fun, simple, and engaging copy for any audience.

I live in Atlanta with my husband, two kids, two dogs, and one bird. When I am not writing, I hang out in my imagination with a bunch of crazy characters.
