Journalist | Editor | Ghostwriter

If you’ve got a story to tell but you need a little help telling it, please come sit with me. That’s my favorite thing.

I began my career as a newspaper journalist, where I learned to prize speed, accuracy, and the art of rapid note-taking. Crime, education, the local impacts of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, immigration, public housing, the business world — you name it, I covered it. In addition to chasing news, I wrote a personal column for the Chattanooga Times Free Press for more than a decade.

Then I jumped to corporate communications, where I made it my personal mission to persuade business executives to hate jargon as much as I do; results were mixed. During those years, I worked in public relations, employee communications, crisis and business continuity communications, and as a ghostwriter for senior leaders.

Now my clients come from a variety of industries, and my work ranges from reporting and editing news and features to authoring scripts, crafting employee communications, and ghostwriting all kinds of stuff I can’t show you. Boo. (That’s a ghost joke.)

I love the Oxford comma and I am not sorry.
