My Story

Hello! I’m Julie, a Boston-based writer, ghostwriter, copywriter, researcher, and editor.
Recently, I started working as a personal assistant and AI data annotator (if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em). In the data annotation realm, I work on a wide variety of tasks, from writing prompts to evaluating and rating AI-generated content.
Since 2012, I’ve written for over 200 clients. Healthcare, technology, and higher education are my areas of specialty. I’ve also written about business, finance, consumer goods, industrial systems, hospitality, and many more topics.
I’ve collaborated with marketing agencies, clients on content platforms, and directly with companies and organizations.
I’m particularly skilled in creating optimized web content that’s SEO-savvy and adheres to the latest GEO directives (Generative Engine Optimization).
Much of my early work was for online stores, including both B2C and B2B websites. I’ve written product and service pages, brand profiles, FAQs, and Amazon product pages. Since then, I’ve written many blog posts, educational articles, and website content pages. I also provide editing, fact-checking, and proofreading services.
I’ve worn many hats for Boston-area colleges, including content developer, content manager, writer, technical writer, editor, and proofreader. I was part of a small team that collaborated with developers to create interactive story walls in a university visitor center. As part of this project, I conducted interviews and wrote about students participating in international co-ops, study programs, and volunteer service. I researched media to upload to the custom content management system and performed QA testing on the screens.
For another university, after creating a site architecture and content inventory, I reviewed, edited, and moved the existing content to a new ExpressionEngine website, creating a user manual for future editors. I wrote process documentation for a student financial services department and restructured and edited a microsite, collaborating with marketing and student services. I’ve also proofread and fact-checked correspondence, ads, and other materials for enrollment marketing.
My degree is in technical communication, and I have a past life as a web developer. For several years, I published music reviews and band profiles on both proper music blogs and my own quirky, creative writing site, musingsfromboston.com. I’ve also written about mental health topics for Depression Army, dipping my toes into very murky waters that I’m now exploring more deeply.
I enjoy exploring complex topics to bring them into the open and make them easier to comprehend. I also enjoy birds, reading, yoga, meditation, music, nature—oh, and did I mention birds? I’m currently writing a lighthearted, cheery memoir about incest, bipolar disorder, insecurity, substance abuse, escapism, and devotion.
Only one who attempts the absurd can achieve the impossible. – fortune cookie
