Freelance Writer & Project Coordinator

I'm a writer living in Nelson, BC.  I write about culture and society. I also work as a freelance project coordinator in graphic design and community development. I use words in different styles for varied purposes. Less content is not a bad thing but some ideas demand elaboration and require complexity. As a coordinator I strive to streamline the complex and deliver early and within budget. If you need a grant writer, a copy refresh for your website or even, a guest or ghost post, I'm your person. Whether coordinating words or tasks, I bring over 15 years of experience and nifty marketing genes - I come from a long line of scribes, interpreters and yes, successful business types. Finding the angle and telling the story, yours and mine, or bringing that special project to light is a labour of combined love, skill, and practicality.
