My Work
Readers are no fools; they can spot inauthentic copy in a millisecond. I look for the defining characteristics that set the topic apart and then put them into compelling and convincing copy that appeals to the reader.
Featured Project
Decathlon Play:
SEO-rich advice articles
Decathlon’s approach to content marketing focuses almost exclusively on the content, which is underscored by these key characteristics: consistency, tone of voice, and high SEO value.
My project was to write 52 blog-style articles for Decathlon UK’s cycling category. Topics ranged from “how to” and “advice for” types of articles, such as “How to avoid cold toes and fingers” to “Advice for first-time commuters,” to informational articles, like “What is bike packing?” and “Disc brakes vs. rim brakes.”

ASSOS:
Updated product descriptions for WWW
ASSOS, the Swiss clothing brand, wanted to remaster its product descriptions to be more aspirational and less technical.
My project was to rewrite 74 product descriptions that engaged customers on an experiential level. We tossed out technical details from the main copy (and instead included them in “The Finer Details” section) and transformed it into descriptive yet aspirational copy to attract users in a way that appealed to their lifestyle.
Featured Project
Eurobike Show Daily:
Feature articles about bicycle products
The Show Daily is the industry magazine of reference for both the Eurobike and Taipei Cycle trade shows. The editorial focus is on pared-down “just the facts” reporting on the products, technology, people, and brands that are causing a sensation in the bicycle industry.
As a staff writer, I contribute feature-length articles about gravel, IoT devices and applications, suspension, drivetrain components, and products and services related to mobility.

Spain’s largest mt. bike stage race series:
Promotional material translation
Starting with the Andalucía Bike Race in 2011, this race series has grown to five events of 3-6 days each, which are held throughout Spain. 2021 will see the ABR ascend once again to the highest category ranking for a mountain bike stage race, putting it in the same class as races like the Cape Epic.
Since 2017, I have been in charge of translating from Spanish to English press releases, sponsor announcements, stage previews, race reports, and video scripts for each race.

Where the best cycling in Spain is
Cycling in Spain is as romantic as it sounds. That’s even more true now that Spain is beginning to define its cycling identity on its own terms. What Spain has so humbly forgotten to mention about its cycling offerings goes way beyond great food and weather, breathtaking scenery, and challenging terrain. If you want to know where the best cycling in Spain is, read on
Ride up Europe’s highest cyclable climb
“El pico de Veleta” is Europe’s highest cyclable climb and it soars up to 3,394 m (11,135 ft). Time your climb to a full moon, which falls this year on June 4, July 5, or August 3, 2020, to reach the peak at sunrise for an experience that’s hard to match anywhere else in the world.
