Writing & Communications Portfolio
Between 2017 and 2019, I served as the Education and Outreach Coordinator for the Colorado Office of Attorney Regulation Counsel (OARC), an independent office of the Colorado Supreme Court.
I rebuilt and managed the OARC’s full stakeholder communication system — including the office’s bimonthly newsletter via Mailchimp, producing 6-8 articles per issue across content strategy, writing, design, and distribution to 41,000+ attorneys statewide, averaging 13,000+ opens per issue.
This work required translating complex regulatory processes into clear, actionable guidance across newsletters, press releases, feature articles, annual reports, and web content.
All content was produced between 2017–2019, prior to the availability of generative AI tools. The communication infrastructure I rebuilt in 2017 has continued publishing through 2026 — still active on coloradolegalregulation.com
Newsletters
