I am a writer and content strategist at Ogilvy Interactive. I work on sites, applications and other digital experiences that connect businesses and customers in useful and engaging ways.
Or visit live sites I’ve written:
* A new site for Career Education Corporation that gives users multiple paths to research colleges in the U.S., England, France and Italy, review on- and offline degree programs and request information from more than 90 individual colleges. Try Selecting a Career Path for Yourself
* A site for New York Life AARP Life Insurance and Annuities that lets users choose coverage, order information kits, enroll for coverage and use a quote tool to match and compare alternatives. Try the Quote Tool (it’s quick and anonymous)
* A new site for Slim•Fast, including a meal planner application and dynamic weight-loss progress report . Create a meal plan (again, free, quick and anonymous)
* A new site for Jackson, a leading annuity company, featuring a new signed in dashboard for reps and new retirement planning tools for users. Try the Life Stages tool — it’s simple and tends to make good suggestions.
* The first site for HighTower Advisors, a new (and most timely) financial services business. Visit
* A new site for Bright House Networks, a cable-based media and communications provider. Visit
