My Portfolio
Explore a collection of my work highlighting versatility in writing styles, from instructional support articles to UX content design to marketing campaigns.
Support articles to educate and inform
For over 15 years, I've instructed customers on how they can get the most out of an organization's products and services, resulting in increased customer satisfaction, reduced support calls, and decreased churn.

UX content design
With 15+ years of UX writing experience, customer-centric philosophy, and Figma expertise, I've enhanced UX designers' visions by adding clear, concise, easy-to-follow copy to create positive user experiences.
-
Case Management CRD - The Case Management initiative reduced calls to Customer Support by 35% beginning in the first month.
-
Outages CRD - The Outages workflow is an integral part of the very successful AT&T Guarantee initiative, which increased new wireless and internet customers by 30%. It presents an easy way for customers to find out if there's a wireless or internet service outage in their location. The Outages screens also inform the customer if they are eligible for the AT&T Guarantee credit for a current or past outage.

Marketing
For 15+ years, I've created marketing content and integrated campaigns to engage prospects and customers and guide them through the stages of the customer lifecycle.
I've thoroughly analyzed KPIs and other metrics before, during and after campaigns to reach data-driven recommendations for improving underperforming campaigns and building upon the success of high performing campaigns.
