OFFICIAL BIO
JD Editorial serves mission-driven clients
I aim to illuminate, inspire and motivate through the use of human-centered impact storytelling, whether I am on a freelance assignment, developing op-eds and white papers, or designing a messaging and advocacy campaign for a cause I believe in.
I’d like to help you and your organization tell your story, engage your audience, and achieve your goals.
Selected Works
Passionate, meticulous & curious content creator
I bring a reporter’s respect for detail and storytelling, an editor’s passion for accuracy and clarity, and a strategist’s focus on impact and audience engagement to the projects I work on today.
While always curious to learn new things, I have specialized content knowledge in education and human development; civic engagement; issues of diversity, equity and inclusion; youth voice; economic opportunity; and holistic wellness, including mindfulness and mental health.
OFFERINGS
-
CREATOR
I love to write and can turn around high-quality copy on tight deadlines.
Let’s connect if your organization or campaign needs to boost blogs, refresh web content, publish op-eds, refine messaging, or produce case studies or white papers that require overviews or research translation.
The creative process is by nature messy and experimental—as it should be.
-
EDITOR
I’ve worked as a professional editor for 10 years and enjoy all levels of editing—from helping to organize and shape your content, to line editing, copy editing and proofreading. I can be ruthless when streamlining copy, believing ‘less is more,’ but always strive to preserve unique points of view and let the author’s voice shine through.
Editing makes everything clean, polished, beautiful.

Experienced storyteller, editor, and communications strategist.
An award-winning journalist before I switched to nonprofit communications, I bring a reporter’s respect for detail and storytelling, an editor’s passion for accuracy and clarity, and a strategist’s focus on impact and audience engagement to the projects I work on today.
I aim to illuminate, inspire and motivate through the use of human-centered and data-rich stories, insights and research, whether I am on a freelance assignment, developing op-eds and white papers, or designing a messaging and advocacy campaign for a cause I believe in.
I specialize in storytelling and content creation for mission-driven organizations and campaigns and have content knowledge in education and human development; civic engagement; issues of diversity, equity and inclusion; youth voice; economic opportunity; and holistic wellness, including mindfulness and mental health.
