Welcome!

Thank you for visiting my website. I started it as a portfolio where prospective clients could see my work and get to know me and I still want it to serve that purpose. But I also want it to serve as a creative and experimental space where I can share my enthusiasm for research, writing and editing.

If you have an idea about something I can do for you or a project where we could collaborate, please contact me. I’d love to hear about it.

Testimonials

Buffy deployed to New York at the beginning of February and was assigned as an external affairs liaison to the Federal Disaster Recovery Coordinator. Her attention to detail and knowledge have been instrumental in shaping the reports and documents in the FDRC. She constantly thinks of ways to improve procedures, documents and the messaging strategies of both the FDRC and joint field office. For example, Buffy redesigned a weekly report in such a way that made it shorter and provided more substance. By using a chart in place of a narrative the report not only documented meetings attended by the Recovery Support Functions but also visually shows the collaboration of multiple federal agencies.
