About KBM
Giving Voice to Vision
I’m a veteran writer, editor, and communications consultant with deep experience translating complex ideas into clear, concise, compelling stories. For nearly a decade, I served as Executive Writer at Vanguard, crafting high-stakes messaging for C-suite leaders at one of the world’s largest investment firms.
Throughout my career I have delivered hundreds of projects for corporate, financial, non-profit, and media clients. I can adapt the voice, tone, and style of communications to inspire any audience. Whether I’m translating a financial white paper on diversified investing into a plain-talk financial blog, ghostwriting a keynote speech for a senior executive to present at an industry conference, writing a grant proposal to fund a non-profit arts organization, or penning a fun magazine article about collecting mid-century jewelry, my approach is authentic, thoughtful, and solution-driven.
As an independent consultant—through KBM Communications—I’d like to put my decades of experience, expertise, and skills to work on your next project. Please contact me to schedule a complimentary discussion, so we can chat about how I may support you and your organization.
