What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead brand voice and narrative strategy for tech or healthcare brands—translating complex product stories into clear, high-authority copy and multimedia experiences, with strong cross-functional creative teams.

I’m an EDITORIAL ARCHITECT and SENIOR BRAND EXPERIENCE COPYWRITER with 18+ years of experience creating original brand narratives and consumer experiences across diverse channels. I adapt writing tonality for wide audiences, manage complex creative briefs end to end, and partner with cross-functional agency teams to elevate large-scale concepts—especially where technical complexity needs clear, compelling communication.

In consulting roles, I’ve delivered measurable outcomes such as consolidating 13 legacy content applications and driving a 45% lift in content production velocity while ensuring global brand consistency. I’ve also directed strategic communications and adoption copy for the $4.7B Scripps Health Epic EHR migration, and produced long-form investigative journalism for Los Angeles Times and National Geographic, including the Peabody-nominated Heirloom Cities series.
