Meet AWAI-Trained Writer:

Professional Background:

I did marketing communications in-house for law firms for 10 years before starting my own communications firm in 2014. I teamed with lawyers to identify the needs of clients in a wide variety of industries -- from food and agriculture to financial institutions, healthcare and retail -- and deliver targeted and successful new business proposals. Previously, I worked in the academic world as a researcher and college professor and, before that, as a national newspaper/radio reporter (politics and environment). I've written (bylined+ghosted) and edited (and led teams responsible for): ad, informational, and promotional copy (web+print); blog/social media posts, video scripts, speeches, news articles, op-eds and more! I have collaborated with graphic designers (still and motion) and audio+ video technicians to produce appealing, effective sales and marketing collateral. I speak/read/write English, Spanish and Portuguese and have a passion for international culture and politics.
