My writing combines in-depth knowledge gained over 20 years in the investment world with my commitment to making difficult concepts understandable to people at various levels, from the experienced professional to the novice. With an undergraduate major in Rhetoric and a Toastmasters "Competent Communicator" I understand the persuasive goals of speech-writing. I have written extensively in different formats, including blog posts, commentary, newsletters articles, white papers, book chapters, marketing literature, press releases and user manuals, primarily on topics pertaining to the investment management industry, financial literacy and related software services. Colleagues at a former employer often called me "the best wordsmith we've ever seen." With my passion for clear writing and understanding of investment topics and financial markets, I can help your business connect with your target audience. Extensive knowledge of the investment management industry, understanding of complex investment topics and knowledge of the software development life cycle.
