The thing I do best is communicate clearly about complex subjects, and I want to put that skill to work for you. I excel at finding good information, learning topics quickly, and crafting accessible, persuasive messages for audiences of all types, across a variety of written formats. I’ve gained these skills across experiences as a management consultant for universities and government agencies, a policy analyst in state government, a public relations professional serving nonprofits and social enterprises, a college-level instructor, and an award-winning academic historian.
