There is an intimate connection I have with readers because of my own addiction recovery story. This also makes me passionate about helping and connecting with others in recovery. Many times, these desperate readers need the facts (supported by evidence-based sources) amidst a sea of misinformation.
Do you need a carefully crafted voice, the kind that builds the trust that results in sales?
I have a unique ability to meet a client and shape their goals and ideas into lead-grabbing content in their voice. As a graduate-level writer, I understand research, meeting deadlines, speed, and accuracy.
I help you by colloborating with your team, using graduate level research, interviewing and writing abilities to create engaging, consumer-focused copy for a range of corporate and campaign deliverables, including web copy, advertising, blog posts, marketing collateral and more.
If not pleased with your final product, I will issue a 100% refund to you. Why? I recently started my own freelance writing business and believe that building a clientele takes time, transparency, and ultimate trust.

My Addiction Recovery Story
In my former life, I was an active alcoholic while dealing with different mental health issues over the past 20 years. Physically, mentally, and emotionally sick from overindulging in food and drink, I was clinically depressed with low energy and a “blah” mood all the time. There was no motivation to get off the couch, but I wasn’t ready to admit I was an alcoholic.
By the end of 2013, I was 70 pounds overweight (morbidly obese), couldn’t do a push-up on my own, my blood pressure spiked, my liver was failing, and the cholesterol and fat in my arteries were near fatal levels. I started to have panic attacks in public, general anxiety, and deep depressions that lasted for weeks.
Something had to change….
After another drunk night, I decided to go to detox/rehab for 30 days to clean up my life. After a few relapses and slips, I had my last drink (God-willing) on November 1, 2015. After about a year, my mental health had improved enough to begin to help other addicts with this horrific disease.
In 2016, I decided to pursue a Master of Science in Health Promotion and Disease Prevention, so I could learn how to accurately educate and inform others about addiction. This graduate degree changed the direction of my life forever.
This addiction recovery content writing business is a labor of love. Every chance I get, I like helping people who are still suffering. Life doesn’t have to be that way.
I’m not going to lie…this didn’t happen overnight and there was no quick fix. It was consistent and persistent small steps every day that improved my health over several years. I discovered that changing one’s life is hard work, but it’s the best investment of time and energy someone will ever make.
