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.

I wrote the UX copy for our mobile app and website. I also helped write the value prop, "Gather your community, frequently and virtually, with conversations enabled through one-on-one video chats."

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.

Instead of something boring like "share the stage," we thought of "grab the mic" for attendees who wanted to interact with virtual speakers.

1. Content audit

First I survey the range of voices used. If I see several modifiers in a row, for example, I deem the voice "technical." If I see contractions, I know the voice is more colloquial or casual.
