Experience

I help companies give credible, quality content to their audiences, without having to waste a bunch of time.

I use my experience and credentials to develop and expertly curate content that helps people improve their overall wellness so they can achieve their life goals. I do this through writing, social media, and speaking.

I also organize a paid online community for Christian entrepreneurs, to connect members to people and resources that support them in the integration of faith and business.

Please reach out if you have any questions or would like to know more about my content creation or community building. I’m currently available to consider freelance writing assignments and remote part-time positions in content creation.
