Service Description:
I am a professional journalist with more than 15 years experience in print, radio and broadcast media.  My previous employers include The Economist Intelligence Unit, CBS Radio, CNBC and CNN.  My specialty is financial and economic news.  If you are looking to take complicated technical jargon and turn it into clear, easily digestible copy, I am the writer you want to hire.

I am now freelancing from home and have a wide variety of clients.  I have written and edited proposals for clients including PricewaterhouseCoopers, Booz Allen & Hamilton, and USAID.  I have written speeches for Ambassadors and other political leaders.  I have also taught corporate clients how to write for business, and improve the quality of their reports and proposals.

I have expanded my writing preferences beyond business and economic writing to include travel, parenting and childcare articles.  I am also working on a series of Children’s books.

I am extremely fast and have never missed a deadline.  If you are in a time crunch, I can be relied on to deliver quick, clear copy with enough time to revise according your needs.

In addition to writing and editing work, I am available for media training for clients that will be speaking to the press or appearing on television.  In my ten years as a senior producer with several national news networks, I have worked with and helped train some of the most well-known on air personalities in the news business.  I know what broadcast producers are looking for and I can help any client or company craft a message with a soundbite that will get played over and over.  I know which press releases get thrown in the trash (and why), and which ones get noticed.  In short, I can make sure your message is picked up by the press.

I am a graduate of Georgetown University's School of Foreign Service and have a broad international background, having lived and worked in Ukraine, Hong Kong, the UK and the Czech Republic.  I have both US and Irish citizenship.
