Experienced business and creative writer; grammar nerd

Nicole M.

I have 25 years of experience in communications. A big part of my job, and one of the reasons I love it so much, is that I write every day - everything from press releases and media pitches to speeches, op-eds, and more! I also write fiction and will publish my first novel in early 2027. My primary interest in becoming a tutor is to help you communicate effectively and bring your ideas to life.

During my undergraduate studies at George Washington University (GPA: 3.48; dean's list), I majored in journalism. I also completed the required training to work as a writing tutor for three years, advising both undergraduate and grad students at every stage of the writing process. I was also a journalism major, writing for the college newspaper and working as an intern for my hometown newspaper.

At Georgetown University, I earned my Master's Degree in the Communication, Culture & Technology program (GPA: 3.90).

When I decided I didn't want to work in news, I pivoted to public relations and communications. In this capacity, I've had the opportunity to coach junior team members on their business writing. This includes writing clearly and succinctly, simplifying technical or complex topics for broad audiences, and adopting the different styles and voices of the executives for whom I write speeches, key messages, or LinkedIn posts.

Outside of work, I write fiction. My first novel is set to be published by Spectrum Books. I also like to write screenplays and poetry. I still dabble in journalism, too. Recently, I wrote a piece for The Bump about parenting non-biological kids.
