About me
I listen, I read, I think, I write.
I write, edit, and/or format whatever you need written, edited, and/or formatted.
I help you talk to your reader rather than at them. The best messages use the right words, in the right structure, have no errors, and target the right reader.
I enjoy formatting text and documents and I manage websites and web content. I have extensive experience in Microsoft Office, Adobe, Drupal, WordPress, and SharePoint.
I am an advocate for website and PDF accessibility and go the extra mile to publish content that is as accessible as possible.
Oh, and I watch professional wrestling (sports entertainment). Probably a bit too much.

Super pedantic
I’ve never read a book that hasn’t had at least one error. Don’t get me started on social media posts.
Deeply committed
I’m an advocate for web accessibility and making content that everyone can find and understand.
Highly skilled
Many years of listening, reading, writing, thinking, and managing websites means I’m efficient and effective.
