My Work
Check out some of the content I’ve written for publications and businesses.
Travel writing
Airplane Travel
Airfarewatchdog commissioned a story about my flight experience during COVID-19. I compiled notes during my trip and wrote this piece to help others understand the new experience of traveling during a pandemic.
First Class Flight Review
HerMoney.com commissioned a review of my experience flying first class for the first time.
TSA Tips for Travelers
I wrote this article to help other travelers avoid embarrassing themselves in the TSA line at the airport. (Yes, I’ve done some of the awkward things in the article, so there’s some humor sprinkled in.)
Vegas Food & Drink Costs
Multiple people declared daily food and drink costs would be expensive in Las Vegas. I recorded my daily spend to compare and provide tips.
beauty, fashion & lifestyle content
Beauty & Fashion for Women 50+
As a contributing writer for PRiME Women, I create relevant content to review beauty products and cover fashion and lifestyle trends.
My beauty round-up piece was PRiME’s sixth most popular article of 2020.
fashion for people magazine online
I write a variety of e-commerce content for People. This fashion article focuses on a lookalike piece from one of Kate Middleton’s styles.
Gift-Giving Guide
I interviewed experts to create this holiday gift-giving guide for HerMoney, a financial advice website for women.
Commerce Roundup article
This commerce-focused roundup article for Allrecipes focused on highly rated lasagna pans.
Features Writer
I wrote longer entertainment features for The List. These pieces involved heavy research and the ability to craft entertaining reads from facts.
entertainment weekly ecomm article
This short, snappy piece for Entertainment Weekly covered a sale on Beats headphones from Amazon.
BHG Potting Soil Roundup
This potting soil roundup for Better Homes & Gardens called for careful research and interviews with two gardening experts.
Hair Health Content
I crafted content for Vegamour, an online retailer of hair products, to inform readers about and position the products in a way that made sense, all while following stringent SEO guidelines.
Pet writing
Daily Paws
This article for Daily Paws pertains to a somewhat gross (but very necessary) topic for pet owners. I interviewed credible sources to write an informative article on removing pet stains.
Pet writing
As a contributing writer for Cattitude Daily, I wrote about all things cat-related, from behavior to biology and everything in between.
Pet Insurance 101
HerMoney.com commissioned this informative article about pet insurance, complete with information from two qualified sources.
Content & Copy for Businesses
LinkedIn About Section
A newly retired business professional asked for revisions to his LinkedIn profile. Using highlights supplied by the client, I crafted a professional bio to showcase his expertise.
Email Marketing
Email newsletters need to be sent consistently and contain content the audience finds useful. I created humorous, irreverent email content that was on-brand for this podcast host. (Follow Up Sequence: 55.6% open rate and 5.6% click rate)
nonprofit letter
A nonprofit organization needed some help crafting a heartfelt letter to thank their donors. I rewrote their original template by pulling in their brand messaging and adding the warmer tone of voice they wanted.
Podcast show notes
Podcasts need extensive written content for each episode. The show notes need to draw in potential listeners with an enticing episode summary and an effective call to action, which is how I structured the show notes for this podcast.
Narrative, Nonfiction & Thought Leadership Content
Creative Nonfiction
With this article, I outlined some common introvert quirks that seem rude. The style of this piece blends a bit of creative nonfiction with some personal narratives that make it more relatable to the audience.
Narrative Content
Wayne Moran is a talented photographer and influencer with many stories to tell. His photos are breathtaking and he wanted several narrative style blog posts to showcase his work from trips around the world.
Journalism/Reporting & Financial Content
Journalism/reporting
I worked with the editor at Digital Privacy News to craft an article highlighting the privacy concerns with voice recognition technology. I pitched the idea, researched relevant information and interviewed several sources to create an article with DPN’s preferred tone of voice.
Financial Content
I regularly write articles for HerMoney (an award-winning website focused on women and finances), including this timely piece about the housing market and down payments. Each article includes research and two interviews.
