What I'm looking for

I seek a content role where I can drive measurable audience growth, collaborate cross-functionally, and create user-focused written and video content with opportunities for skill growth.

I am an accomplished freelance SEO content writer, creative writer, and ghostwriter with eight years of experience producing articles, guides, reviews, and video scripts that drive measurable audience growth. I leverage a BFA in Creative Writing for Entertainment and hands-on skills in content strategy and video production to craft compelling, research-driven prose.

My work has contributed to significant traffic gains for multiple high-profile platforms — including site-wide increases of 43.25% traffic and major monthly visitor growth — and I have grown audiences across web and YouTube properties through targeted content and effective collaboration.

I bring disciplined project management, cross-team communication, and a results-focused mentality informed by military service. I thrive on creating user-focused content that improves engagement, retention, and discovery.
