About Me

When I was a child, people would say I should become a doctor. I would recoil in horror.  Who would want that? I wanted to be a plant scientist! I was enthralled when I discovered in childhood that many plant chemicals are thought to have roles in plant defense and studied this area for many years.

I have always been skilled at working with numbers, and unlike most writers, I am highly proficient at using MS Excel.

I branched out into professional writing and editing in 2009, and my varied background contributes to my skill at producing compelling B2B marketing text on technical topics:

• Advanced copywriting training as a Circle of Success member with American Writers and Artists, Inc. (AWAI)

• Years of diverse writing experience:
      – Hundreds of articles explaining science and gardening to laymen
      – Nearly 2,000 pages of long-tail SEO on topics ranging from cybersecurity to public health
      – B2B articles, blog posts and a brochure on agricultural science
      – Memorandum of Understanding for the sale of an online school
      – Peer-reviewed research papers on plant science and plant pathology
      – Grant writer – obtained my own USDA grant as a postdoctoral fellow

• Twenty years of research experience with plants and microorganisms

• Agricultural background ranging from content curation for a pioneer of regenerative agriculture to work on an experimental pesticide farm of DuPont de Nemours, Inc.

• Five years of experience editing the manuscripts of non-native English speakers

I have a natural bent for problem solving, which is complemented by a range of experience, including hands-on customer service. Therefore, I confidently offer my services to companies in a variety of fields and welcome the opportunity to learn about your business and help solve any problems you might have marketing to a B2B audience.
