What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a remote role that lets me flex and use all of my talents and skills in content strategy, development, writing, editing, and even publishing. What I valued most at Cloudfactory, my only employee role since I began writing in 2002, was having a collaborative work family. I’m looking for a new one!

I’m a detail-oriented project manager and content marketing writer, editor, and strategist with more than 20 years of experience supporting businesses, executives, entrepreneurs, and creatives. I’m adaptable and learn fast, which means I’ll thrive in various roles, whether ghostwriting for founders, managing editorial calendars, or coordinating marketing campaigns. I’m available for remote (and, if local, hybrid) roles in content strategy, writing, and editing; plus executive support, project coordination, and communication.

I’m a freelance columnist at Forbes.com writing on “the content experience.” I also have extensive experience writing and editing most forms of B2B content. I had a short stint as a full-time marketing writer and editor for Cloudfactory, but was let go during a company-wide layoff. There, I created the company’s first blog strategy, wrote a top-performing white paper, and significantly improved company-wide content. I also have experience in messaging development, as well as in coaching and mentoring junior copywriters.
