You’ll find examples spanning website copywriting, SEO blog content, personal essays, reported essays/articles, and more.

THE GUARDIAN: Personal essay

I wrote a personal essay for The Guardian UK’s ongoing series, “Why I Quit.” My piece focused on the overwhelming amount of background noise I’d allowed into my day-to-day life, and how I went about finding peace and more space for my own thoughts.

BOUNDLESS HQ: SEO glossary

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

FAST COMPANY: Work-life essay

BUSINESS INSIDER: Personal essays

I cold-pitched my first personal essay idea to an editor at Business Insider in 2022. Over time, I’ve built relationships with a few editors and written on several subjects, including student loans, freelance writing, personal finance, and living abroad.

Boundless HQ, a European employer of record company, wanted to create a glossary defining commonly searched terms for their website to better compete in SEO results. The client provided the keywords, and I wrote copy based on existing published information from their website, notes from the content lead, and personal research.

ACTIVE AGING CO: Squarespace website design, website copy, and marketing materials design & copy

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.

TRIALFACTS: Website copy

I used a combination of a website “wireframe” (a visual plan created by a website developer) and an outline provided by the client to write the website copy for Trialfacts.

THE NEW YORK TIMES: Reported essay

VARIOUS CLIENTS: SEO blog content

I began writing SEO-centered blog content for clients in 2017. All my clients have come from wildly different niches, and I love learning how each of them operates in their individual industries. I also wrote email newsletters, social media captions, and other various types of copy when needed.

TRIALFACTS: Case studies

To write these case studies, I used interviews with Trialfacts medical researcher clients conducted by the CEO. Each case study included direct quotes from the researchers themselves and followed the “hero’s journey” story arc, detailing how they overcame the difficulties surrounding recruiting participants for their clinical research trials.

TEN ACCOUNTING: Website copy

I used a combination of a website “wireframe” (a visual plan created by a website developer), along with notes provided by the client, to write the website copy for Ten Accounting.

The client didn’t have many examples of how the copy should sound, but his notes helped describle how he and his team wanted the words to feel and what message they wanted to convey.

I cold-pitched an editor of The New York Times an idea for a reported story about groups of friends in South Korea who pool their money and create “savings groups” for outings and trips. I interviewed sources and wrote a 1,700-word story. The article ran on the front page of both the national and international print versions on June 19/20, 2024.
