I have extensive experience with writing, researching, editing, copyediting, interviewing, blogging and marketing for large and small publishers, websites, blogs and social media platforms. My unique background in law, corporate governance, securities, journalism and publishing has enabled me to produce and write everything from legal newsletters and articles to start-up blogs.

Here’s my writing portfolio of freelance work and favorite guest author posts. If you need a writer or editor for your blog, help writing your newsletter, or development of your SEO and social media platforms; or if you’re looking for a writer, editor, copywriter, ghostwriter or proofreader, please reach out to me here.

I’ve enjoyed working with several freelance clients, including Lifelock and IOI Partners, which I’ve helped with writing, editing, newsletter content, SEO optimization and social media strategy. I also handled content strategy and creation for Pixel Jocks, a digital marketing agency.

More About Me

What did I do before founding Mothernova and freelancing? For 15 years I enjoyed working as a senior legal editor and reporter for The Bureau of National Affairs Inc. (BNA), now known as Bloomberg BNA; and as a writer and editor for CCH Washington Service Bureau, now part of Wolters Kluwer.

I interviewed attorneys, government officials, and those in the corporate world. I wrote and edited news stories, features, special reports, interview pieces, and guest author articles on a range of topics under the umbrellas of federal ethics law, securities law, and corporate governance law.

Before that, I worked in both the editorial and marketing departments for Scarecrow Press, with the Roman and Littlefield Publishing Group.

I received my undergraduate degree in political science from the University of Richmond, and my law degree from the Dickinson School of Law at the Pennsylvania State University.
