What colleagues have said:

"Her customer focus was on the communication whether the customer was an external utility audience or internal employee audience. She has the ability to think outside of the box and
consider multiple approaches to a communication task."

I'm able to write for different literacy levels and different B2B or customer constituencies. I have proven copy editing and diagnostic editing skills. Marketing communications, corporate communications and a great sense of design complement my editing savvy. I proofread without thinking, which is hard on friendships, but clients like it. Detail and quality? I'm there.
