About Me
I’m a writer and editor specializing in higher education, IP law, the human side of law, careers and networking, and fitness.
In short, I’m a Type-A person writing for and about other Type-A people. That means I value deadlines and clean copy, and have written for everyone from federal judges to time-crunched parents looking for at-home fitness apps.
Higher ed and legal content
I write content including blog posts, features, event coverage, bio pages and other web copy, case studies, and more for colleges and universities, legal tech companies, law firms, and associations. I also edit and write newsletters and annual reports to help schools communicate with alumni, students, and peer institutions.
Journalism
On the journalism side, I focus on careers and networking, workplace issues, and fitness for outlets including general interest, business, and lifestyle magazines and websites.
I love finding unexpected connections at the intersection of seemingly unrelated topics. For example, I once wrote about networking and making beer in a magazine for homebrewers.
At the intersection of writing and law
My interest in exploring the intersections between subjects began during my “Law of the Press” class while earning a journalism degree at the George Washington University. By that time, I was already hooked on all things media. The class sparked my interest in the interaction between journalism and law and led me to Fordham University School of Law, where I devoured every available class on media and intellectual property.
For 15 years, I worked as an attorney in trademarks and other intellectual property, helping clients from solopreneurs to international corporations develop and protect their brands. While I loved working with brands, my favorite part of the job was research and communication.
Writing tailored to your audience
With my branding background, I take extra care in writing accurate copy that reflects the core values and style of every client. I also understand the needs and challenges of sources and stakeholders like business school and law school alumni and law firm partners.
