Hello.
Before pivoting to a career in user experience and marketing, I was a visual arts journalist with over 100 articles published in The New York Times. I am also the author of the book "Women of Vision," published by Penguin Random House and National Geographic.
I currently lead a team of copywriters and content strategists at Rocket Money, formerly Truebill.

Educational Onboarding Flow
Content Strategist: Truebill
At Truebill, the Product team wanted to insert educational content into the onboarding flow, a delicate process because you never want to scare the user away. At the same time, it's important to help them understand what Truebill is about up front.
Credit Builder Landing Page
Content Strategist: Truebill
The goal here was to test whether users were interested in a credit builder program. We created targeted ads which then led users to this landing page. It turns out, users were very interested! We had overwhelming return with both our ads and landing page.
Roll: UX Writer
UX price writing has its challenges. Not only do you have to be clear, but you don't want to scare customers away. See how I wrote an updated pricing sheet for Run The World.
