I am a professional writer living abroad with experience in proposal writing & coordination. I also write creative pieces of my own and edit others' creative pieces. Check out the About Me page for more information. On the Writing Samples page I have attached samples of the work I do which reflect the multifarious opportunities afforded to a professional writer. You can also download My Resume and connect with my on LinkedIn. The Blog contains my thoughts on life in Japan as an American, my ongoing creative projects, and my career. The term "professional writer" is a fluid one, because the discipline of professional writing and rhetoric, while it has been in use for much of human history, continues to adapt. As a professional writer I have gained the ability to adapt quickly to different tasks. The nature of the work I do keeps me on my toes, which I enjoy immensely. I feel the most productive when I am being challenged to accomplish something difficult or alien to me, which the rest of the content in this portfolio demonstrates.
