Specialized content + editing services for Go Thrive Go
Launched in early 2024, Go Thrive Go is a self-guided recovery tool designed to support survivors of trauma and abuse as they heal and, eventually, thrive.
As a content writer, specialized project consultant, and editor, I developed a library of over 60 informative articles to support those navigating or recovering from traumatic experiences.
I also provided other project support by proofreading website content, populating an interactive service database, and offering user-experience feedback.

OTHER WORK — Writing
Since 2021, I have helped hundreds of musicians and artists from around the world tell their stories through professional bio writing and music and art reviews. For some examples, check out Icelandic-Ukrainian band My Favorite War on Bandcamp to read the reviews I wrote for their 2022 and 2023 albums. (Fun fact! From 2015 to 2020, I worked as an independent musician, traveling the country and the world in multiple bands. I also recorded and released my own original music via my 2020 album cry if you need to, which received international acclaim upon its release. Having performed in some of the most legendary venues in the country sharing stages with big names in the folk industry like Devil Makes Three, Sierra Ferrell, and Amythyst Kiah, I bring keen insight and passion to my music writing — and I absolutely love working with musicians from a variety of genres.)
2023 — In addition to the work highlighted above for AisleOfShame.com, I also produced dozens of SEO content articles about USPS, FedEx, Walmart, Home Depot, Lowe’s, Harbor Freight, Target, and more. These included product reviews, in-depth answers to frequently searched questions and PAAs, and deep dives into company information relevant to consumers, employees, and prospective employees. While working with this client, I also assisted with keeping SEO protocols and procedures up to date based on the ever-developing Google standards for search results, assisted with editing and quality control for content written by other writers, and conducted market research to find high-performing topics and PAAs for articles. My article output ranged from 10-30 articles per week — all high quality, high performing, well-researched, and written without the use of AI.
Since 2022, I’ve produced a range of travel- and outdoors-related SEO blogs for a variety of publications, including ROVA Magazine, Pilot Plans, and The Planet Edit.
