I’ve been a persuasive writer all my life, even having once written a letter to Santa that convinced him to bring me a Gameboy. Oh that’s unremarkable, you say? Well what if I told you it happened last year?

About

My command of narrative, language, succinctness, and humor from my 10+ years of professional writing will ensure that any social post, pitch deck, article, or email I compose carries your intended outgoing message in its most potent form. My work in America, China, and Ireland on behalf of multiple Chinese-owned companies has trained me to work free from cultural friction on teams both in-person and remote .
