Specialties

Vanessa quickly and intuitively grasps the intent of any job and understands how to capture tone and voice. Her background in marketing means she understands the importance of producing work that is consistent and on-brand. As a former educator, she works well with teams. Her work is wide-ranging. She often works with clients whose native language is not English, helping them communicate authentically in their voice while adhering to the rules and protocols of well-written English. She is also an editor who develops content for clients in business and academia.

Interests

Vanessa lives in the Hudson Valley of New York and enjoys hiking and walking in the Berkshire, Taconic, and Catskill mountains, reading beside the Hudson River (in the spots where riverfront space is not taken up by the railroad!), and exploring the many historic towns in the region, usually searching for really good espresso. Vanessa serves on an international non-profit board focused on women's mental health. When she is not writing for clients, she writes fiction and essays. Vanessa loves cooking, obsessively taking pictures of her cat Boo Radley, and sitting on her covered balcony when it rains.
