About Me
I’m a content marketing strategist and freelance writer and editor for entrepreneurs, authors, healthcare professionals, and marketing agencies. I help people find stories worth sharing to connect with their audiences in a relevant, conversion-driven way.
I graduated from Mount Mercy University in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, in 2006 with a BA in English and a BA in Communications/Journalism. I’ve worked in content creation for 11 years, including radio news, traditional and content marketing, and healthcare digital storytelling.
In my free time, I run 10ks and half marathons (I’m slow, but I go!). I also enjoy reading, hanging out with my kids, and listening to ‘80s hair bands while sipping Busch Light. Feel free to judge.
