Portfolio

Throughout my career, I have written and edited content for many different audiences. Most of my professional experience is in educational publishing for Grades K-12, and I have worked on both student and teacher versions of assessment, reading, science, social studies, and literature projects. In addition, I have also written and edited marketing and informational content for adult audiences. Below are some examples of my work.
