Editorial Portfolio
I’ve worked on a range of editorial products, including blogs, newsletters, briefs, and more, providing copy-editing support and content strategy insight.
PHIG Success Stories
I lead the development of PHIG success stories at ASTHO, setting guidance and content strategy for both ASTHO and its National Partners. I work closely with programmatic teams to support story development, provide editorial oversight, and also contribute directly as a writer from time to time. This work is a coordinated, multi-organizational effort, with ASTHO steering the overall approach.

Speechwriting Sample
During graduate study, I focused on speechwriting, crafting epideictic, apologia, keynote, and public policy speeches for Alaska Representative Mary Peltola. This sample imagines Rep. Peltola delivering a keynote address at the Alaska Federation of Natives Convention.
Programmatic Work
As an editorial manager, I led coverage across a range of public health topics, including environmental health, leadership, infectious disease, health care access, and women, infant, and family health. My work reflects strengths in copy editing, content strategy, and project management.

As part of my web writing and content strategy graduate course, I produced an email marketing appeal for the band Sammy Rae & The Friends. The goal of the assignment was to identify a “client” and have a clear call to action. This email template was designed in MailChimp.
