Summary
As a journalist, I've written stories on a wide variety of
subjects ranging from celebrity interviews and
pop culture criticism to
consumer and professional technology subjects like video gaming and the rollout
of American HDTV.
Since 2002, I've been a contractor doing freelance PR and copywriting for clients in Atlanta, New York, Portland, and California.
My work includes creative and branding strategy, social media
campaigns, website copy, email marketing campaigns, brochures, radio scripts, long-form
copy, and press releases.
