Introduction: I'm a versatile writer and editor--unusual in that I value and excel at both creativity and logic. I have experience in long-form, short form, and marketing copy, both print and web. I have particular experience in technical and instructional content, B2C and B2B, as well as academic. I lived and worked in tech (internetnews.com) in the Bay Area surviving two tech bubbles until I was finally catapulted out. I then studied and qualified for my cosmetologists' license, which was an adventure, but now I'm back in Chicago, saving money for graduate school at the University of Edinburgh (MFA, Creative Writing).
