WRITING AND EDITING FOR THE TRAVEL INDUSTRY SINCE 1997

Clients & Kudos

The breadth of promotional and supporting copy I’ve provided over more than 20 years has covered countless destinations. Recently, I have been proud to write robust content—hundreds of port and excursion descriptions, onboard digital signage, cultural enrichment essays, you name it—to support Viking River Cruises and its sister company, the industry’s newest cruise line, Viking Ocean Cruises. I have also written content and set the tone and style for a rebrand of Sonesta Hotels and developed the voice for a monthly newsletter for Discovery Tours Small Groups by Gate 1 Travel.
