Content strategist. Eight years building a business with my hands. Multiple years writing for one of fintech's most recognizable products.

About

I write content that actually helps people -- agent workflows, knowledge base articles, in-app copy, help documentation. The kind of writing that sits between a product and the person trying to use it.

Before fintech I co-founded and ran Portland Mushroom Co. for nearly eight years: B2B sales to restaurants, farmers market operations, production engineering, and everything in between. I didn't come to content writing from a writing program. I came from building something real.

I'm based in Vista, CA and work remotely.
