An Introduction

I love writing about the things I, well… love. The things that get my plain language brain whirring. The things my clients care about — and the things that they’ll care about soon (after they hear my pitch!).

But I want to take a short break from that and put all that love into context by doing a quick introduction. I’m Amy. Nice to meet you!

I’m a content strategist, plain language writer, and clear communication consultant. I help researchers, clinicians, and technical experts say what they mean, in ways their audiences understand. That’s all I do.

But it hasn’t always been that way. I started my career in science, with a PhD in physical chemistry (ask me about space rocks!). Along the way, I discovered that my favorite part about science wasn’t actually doing the science — it was writing about it. And that set me on a course.

Over the last 14 years, I’ve held a lot of roles. And I’ve worked in a lot of fields, from physical science to international development to public health. But I’ve been guided by a single throughline: the desire to make complex topics clear, accessible, and actionable. (Also a love of serial commas, em dashes, and parentheticals — more on that to come.)

Which brings me here: I’m open for work and ready to help you meet your communication goals:

• If your content isn’t landing with your audience, I can work with you to create a content strategy to meet your audiences’ needs

• If you’ve got an idea but want help putting it into words, I can write your content

• If you’re looking for consistency and clarity in content you’ve written, I offer a wide range of developmental, editing, and proofreading services

• And if you’re looking to boost your team’s writing, clear communication, or plain language skills, I bring experience training people from many backgrounds
