Freelance Writer, Marketing Consultant, Social Media Strategist, Parent Advocate
I wear a lot of hats. Luckily, I'm a hat person.
As a freelance writer, marketing/PR and social media consultant and content developer I create well-voiced, consistent messaging and original content that engage and empower a variety of audiences.
And, as a parent advocate and freelance essayist I write, blog, talk and tweet about creating change for kids (like mine) with differences and disabilities.
Trained as a journalist, I have strong experience in writing, marketing, change management consulting, corporate communications and public relations.
