Welcome!

Thank you for visiting my website. I started it as a portfolio where prospective clients could see my work and get to know me and I still want it to serve that purpose. But I also want it to serve as a creative and experimental space where I can share my enthusiasm for research, writing and editing.

If you have an idea about something I can do for you or a project where we could collaborate, please contact me. I’d love to hear about it.

Testimonials

It’s always a plus to have a research/writing specialist who can serve as a liaison to a program area and is also well versed in the program details. Buffy has a lot of mitigation experience and uses that knowledge in her writing and editing responsibilities. From day one of her deployment, Buffy immersed herself in her liaison duties with the Mitigation unit, developing key relationships and ensuring needed media products were produced on a timely basis. She helped to produce key mitigation fact sheets, an array of mitigation best practices, mitigation outreach schedules, and Hazard Mitigation Grant Program talking points and flyers.
