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.
