Freelance writer helping B2B & B2C brands and founders attract sales-ready leads through expertise-driven SEO blog content 👩🏽‍💻💜

Need a YMYL ("Your Money or Your Life") writer with 10+ years of experience? Let's partner. I create SEO content that informs, builds trust, and converts leads.

People are often overwhelmed by choices and conflicting advice when making important life decisions.

Yet the content meant to guide them is often fluffy, impersonal, and disconnected from reality.

After years of writing with leading media outlets, including CBS News, CNN Underscored, and ConsumerAffairs, I’ve built my career on a simple belief:

Readers deserve honest guidance they can trust — whether they’re navigating an investment decision or looking for products truly worth their money.

What makes my work different?

- I test and use products I write about — no surface-level reviews based solely on manufacturer claims
- I speak with industry experts to get up-to-date insights you won’t find in a quick Google search
- I share guidance based on real-world experience, not just theory

A reader once told me my article helped her escape the credit card debt she’d been trapped in for 13+ years.

Another mentioned how my honest product review saved her from wasting money on an overhyped item.

These moments remind me why authentic human-led content matters.

My stories focus on helping readers make confident decisions across various aspects of life:

- Financial literacy (e.g., budgeting, debt management, mortgage guidance)
- Consumer choices (e.g., relatable product reviews, gift guides for items worth buying)
- Lifestyle decisions (e.g., travel destinations worth the splurge, home upgrades that pay off, side hustles in retirement)

If you want cheap, generic content that sounds like everyone else’s, I’m not your writer.

But if you want YMYL content written by someone who does the research, asks the tough questions, and offers practical insights readers will thank you for — let’s talk.
