My Background
I bring a journalism mindset to all my assignments – I’m able to tackle even complex topics in a concise manner. I’m skilled at interviewing people of all ages and professions and I easily adapt to the tone and voice you need. I seamlessly incorporate key organization themes into written materials. And I always meet deadlines.
My overall goal? Make my clients' lives easier.
I’ve been writing professionally for more than 20 years, first earning a master’s degree in journalism from the Missouri School of Journalism. My experience includes time both on staff at newspapers (remember those?), magazines, and companies, and as a freelancer. When I’m not writing, I’m usually watching my kids’ sports games. And sometimes I’m out hiking the trails of California’s Central Coast.
Not local to me? No worries. I work with clients in all locations.

Samantha has a wonderful knack for capturing the essences of people when writing profiles about them – the stories she tells capture your attention and keep you engaged. She easily picked up on our voice and incorporates our important themes - it makes my job editing a breeze. I really appreciate how she’s able to take on projects quickly and always meets our deadlines. Given her writing skills and how easy our partnership is, she’s always my first call when I need a freelancer.
