I’m Johnathan.
Creating content that informs and delights
Journalist
I got my start as a news reporter for the trade press, covering Congress and the courts for various publications in and around Washington, DC. This is where I honed my skills pitching stories, writing on deadline, connecting with industry experts, interviewing, researching, and tackling complex subject matter. As a news editor, I helped budding journalists develop good news judgment and find their own voice.
My Background
Web Writer
As a web writer, I employ human-centered design and plain language principles to deliver digital products and services to federal agencies. This work involves developing and implementing content strategies for large websites and digital products, working in content management systems, and training federal clients in SEO, accessibility, and other best practices.
Marketing Communications Writer
As a marketing communications writer, I create and share feature stories, thought leadership, blog posts, reports, case studies, email campaigns, and other media to promote brand awareness and attract, engage, and retain target audiences. This work brings together all of my experience and expertise.
