My name is Andrea; I love to write and communication is my job. As an enthusiastic, dynamic and inquisitive individual, I like to say that learning new things lights me up and makes me a great writer. At the heart of my work for clients is a very basic desire to absorb everything I possibly can about them and their business - not just because I’m curious, but because that knowledge is essential to capturing who they are in my writing.
My inherent drive to fully understand a client and grasp their needs allows me to take their vision and translate it into magic. I believe in pairing the power of storytelling with a clear tone of voice in writing that is nothing short of excellent. And, I’m highly qualified to do it - sure, I’ve been writing stories since elementary school, but I also have a decade-long background in communications and project management in corporations large and small, where I honed my writing, editing, proofreading, and strategic communication skills.
When I work with clients, I’m excited not only to learn something new and produce engaging content - it’s also an opportunity to show off my keen eye for detail and exceptional level of organization. Making it easy and fun to collaborate is my goal throughout the entire process with the final product being material that both attracts and delights readers.
