Once upon a time
Stories give structure and meaning to our lives, engage us, and make us more human as we empathize with characters and see through the eyes of others.
I like to write stories, giving a voice to the things that strike me in life: a mood, a wisp of overheard conversation, the dynamics of a family.
I can also write content of a more serious flavor. My B.A. and Ph. L. are both in Philosophy, with a focus on ethics. I-attribute-my-excessive-use-of-hyphens-on-English-translations-of-Heidegger.
At work, my job includes analyzing, summarizing, editing, structuring, or re-casting plan language for use on Local and Union benefits websites: making it easier for plans to communicate technical benefits information in a comprehensible way to their participants.
Lastly, I was the primary copy creator for email and web campaigns for The Breakaway, a local swing-dancing venue, from 2017 to March of 2019. The copy was used on a variety of platforms (Facebook, Meetup, email campaigns, and the company website). The Breakaway grew and was thriving but is now on hiatus due to COVID-19.
