About

Putting you on the write track

I am a writer, researcher, multimedia communications professional, and photo/videographer interested in achieving sustainable economic development and human-scaled communities through a robust multi-modal transportation system centered around a network of high-performance local, regional, and inter-regional passenger trains. My expertise includes writing and editing of multiple types of technical, informative, and persuasive pieces for all types of audiences, as well as online and social media content management, photography, basic videography and audio and video production. I earned my BA in Political Science and Environmental Studies from Guilford College in 2008 and completed an MA in Transportation Policy, Operations and Logistics at George Mason University in 2016. I have lived in Washington, D.C. since 2009.

Work Terms

Available on demand. Usually respond within 2-3 hours and complete most assignments within a week. Minimum rate of $40 per hour or 35 cents per word. I work remotely, but can travel to your location on a short-term basis if needed.
