About
Communications Professional
I love helping people express great ideas through great language. A fairly recent transplant to Zürich, I'm a published author, editor, and translator (German and French to English) who is interested in joining a start-up. I have current experience writing web content and annual reports; am tech-friendly (HTML, CSS, ServiceNow CSA); and have extensive experience with scholarly writing and research. I volunteered for over a decade with a preservation not-for-profit in Philadelphia, where I discovered that I enjoy being at the heart of the action and contributing in a variety of roles--from strategic planning and management, to writing articles, to pulling weeds in the garden :-)
