“You make this so easy!”
“Wow, that was way more fun than I expected!”
“I’ve never told anyone that before…”
I often hear comments like that after an interview.
Helping people feel comfortable in front of the camera is my superpower. We may start as strangers, but we’ll end as friends.
I believe the best interviews are powered by high-quality questions that play to the strengths of the subject. Many of the people I’ve interviewed have worked for years to experience the mountaintop moment that brought them to my microphone, and I love sharing in their celebration. I make the interview special for them, engaging for the audience, and beneficial for the organization that hired me.

On the inside, I’m still the horse-crazy little girl who couldn’t wait for her next issue of Western Horseman in the mailbox.
Now, that little girl has grown up and learned a few things about writing editorial content.
The foundation of an excellent story is an excellent interview. Good thing I’m great at those! (See above.) Once I’ve gathered the information I need, I write each article with storytelling, style suiting the publication, and the subject’s dignity in mind. I genuinely love my work, and it shows through in my writing.
If you’re seeking a professional, action-oriented writer who delivers the story on time, with heart, and within word count, contact me for a writing quote. I’d be happy to write you a clean, captivating article your readers will devour (and your editors will appreciate!).
