As an expert in business writing, plain language, and communication techniques, I am passionate about teaching business professionals to transform their written communication. I believe that effective business writing is clear, direct, and concise. And I believe that anyone can learn to apply simple techniques to become a better writer.
For the past 15 years, I have provided training and coaching services to help corporations and independent professionals communicate more clearly with their customers, executives, and other stakeholders. I have developed customized writing workshops for financial institutions, graduate business schools, professional associations, medical groups, local government agencies, and private firms. I have also worked with MBA students as a writing coach for The Wharton School and as a contributing assistant professor at Willamette University.
Hundreds of financial institutions, software development firms, educational organizations, academics, and other clients have relied on my writing, editing and translation services to improve their written communication. My portfolio includes proposals, RFP responses, executive correspondence, marketing materials, white papers, case studies, reports, journal articles, website content, and more. I founded Apicality Communication as an outgrowth and extension of my consulting and training work.
Previously, I worked in communication, grant-seeking, and general fundraising for the National Geographic Society and other nonprofit organizations. I also have experience teaching and tutoring English-language learners in the United States, Russia, Macedonia, Peru, and China, and I have worked as an instructor for Kaplan, teaching GMAT and GRE preparation courses, which include lessons on writing.
