"It was a pleasure to work with Jodie. She delivered on time and made the process easy. She dove into researching and found everything that was needed to deliver. Jodie's communication is excellent as well! I would highly recommend Jodie for any research or writing project."

Reports & White Papers
Deloitte: 2023 State of Ethics and Trust in Technology Report
I teamed up with a business analyst to write this 2023 annual report, based on a survey of over 1500 CEOs and tech leaders on the ethical use of emerging technologies. We also worked together on the 2022 inaugural Technology Trust Ethics Report (download link at end of article).
This report for Deloitte Pixel is based on a survey of executives of organizations with significant field operations.
"Without a doubt, Jodie rocked. She fully executed her role as a professional author, but then also took lead on performing secondary research, stepped up throughout to take ownership of getting us to the next draft, and was a pleasure to work with. Definitely keep her on your short list for future work."

More recently I've begun writing blog posts for the company, including one about Frank Lloyd Wright's Usonian houses.
