Hi! I'm Neva!

I write, edit, and shape stories for brands who want to sound like real humans (even with the use of AI)—from my cozy beach-town corner of the world.

Come on in!

Expect a surprise lick, a sudden jump, or an unsolicited request for belly rubs. Somewhere nearby, an introverted black Persian cat is absolutely judging us… from a safe, hidden distance.

The coffee’s been brewing since sunrise, and yes, it smells as good as you’re imagining.

Before you sit down, you’ll be greeted by three furry “assistants”: two Shih Tzus and one half-Chow who believes personal space is a myth.

You may also hear a 10-year-old chatterbox boy narrating random stories, as if he's doing a podcast episode; while my husband tackles yet another home project I casually wish out loud.

It’s lively. It’s cozy. It’s real.

While you’re here, feel free to wander through my work, credentials, and the life that shapes how I write and edit content. This is where ideas are brewed slowly, words are crafted with care, and storytelling unfolds between coffee refills and dog interruptions. Stay awhile... good stories like company.

CONTENT PROJECTS

A little preview of my 2-decade content creating journey.

By Niche

The many corners I’ve written myself into: wellness, beauty, money matters, tech, and everything that lives between curiosity and clarity.

By Type

From blog posts to eBooks to thoughtful reviews, my words just enjoy trying on different shapes.

My Journey

I graduated with a B.A. in English Studies, dreaming of crafting words that matter—but I started in the corporate 9-to-5 world, juggling meetings, reports, and a coffee cup that was basically my lifeline. It was a grind… and honestly, my creative brain was screaming for more. So I took the leap into freelancing—and suddenly, the world became my playground.

I became everything at once: editor, SEO strategist, writer, digital marketer, and occasional spreadsheet whisperer.

I built landing pages, crafted email campaigns, wrote eBooks, and turned dry briefs into magnetic blog posts that got clicks, shares, and conversions. Along the way, I figured out how to blend creativity with strategy, structure with imagination, and curiosity with execution—basically, how to make the challenging look effortless.

Now, every project feels like a new adventure, and I get to turn curiosity into expertise, deadlines into triumphs, and my love for words into results that truly matter.
