Creative and results-driven individual with over ten years' experience working remotely in roles that require advanced research, editing, and proofreading skills.

As a writer and editor, I enjoy breaking down complex topics to help people quickly make informed decisions about numerous financial products and services. Want to learn how to use a credit card so it puts more money back into your wallet than it takes out? Or find the right small business loan? I can help. I am a 2020 graduate of Johns Hopkins University with a master’s degree in communication. In 2018, I graduated summa cum laude from the University of Massachusetts Lowell with a bachelor’s degree in English and a minor in psychology. I am eager to help others find the information they need to thrive. That's one of the main reasons why I'm always seeking opportunities to happily spend my days creating and editing content.
