About Me

Photo by Dione Morton.



I’m a freelance writer, copy editor and proofreader specializing in health communications and patient education. I help organizations make complex information clear, accurate, and easy to understand.
​
With a background in adult literacy and ESL, I pay close attention to how people engage with what they read. I focus on clarity, flow, and tone so that the message comes through without unnecessary jargon or confusion.
​
I’ve worked on health content across many medical specialties, including neurology, urology, nephrology, and oncology. I’m also the volunteer newsletter editor for a nonprofit genealogical society, a role I’ve held for six years.
​
I bring a thoughtful, reader-centered approach to every project, whether I’m polishing a final draft or shaping writing earlier in the process.
​
If you’re looking for a professional who values clarity and respects your audience, I’d love to talk.
