My projects have ranged from articles for magazines, blog entries for websites, product descriptions, business proposals, and grant writing. My range of skills and interests has led me to write about food, lifestyles, travel, real estate, health, technology, and more. I’m a quick study in any subject, and I pride myself on my ability to get up to speed quickly and deliver a stellar product—sometimes under tight deadlines.
