Me + my team

I help people and organizations communicate effectively and with impact. I focus on stories, education, and plain, clear, accessible communications.

  • digital or in print
  • books, brochures, websites, and other formats
  • with training and consultations in person and online

I am a trained and very experienced writer, editor, and plain language specialist living in Canada and working around the world.

I have been described as legendary, flexible, persistent, kind, endlessly curious, a listener, a word nerd, a bookworm, a skilled project manager, an advocate for both the reader and the writer, and equally focused on the big picture and the details (or “the forest and trees”).

If you are wondering whether your project and my skills are a good match, please contact me.

My pronouns are she/her.

The team

I am connected to a fantastic group of colleagues to team up with and refer to.

Where

I am grateful to live, work, and play in Toronto, Canada, on the traditional territory of many nations including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee, and the Wendat peoples. Toronto is now home to many diverse First Nations, Inuit, and Métis people.
