Bio
Chelsea Wickline
During Shane's time at Udacity as Senior Copywriter, I had the pleasure of managing him, and he consistently impressed me with his lightning-fast work pace and exceptional self-management skills. He produced clean and direct copy that met the parameters of the creative brief, while also infusing his writing with attitude and humor (often making me chuckle during my review). Shane was a fantastic team player who never hesitated to contribute to both big and small projects, and his ability to foster strong relationships with stakeholders helped him collaborate and continuously improve his writing output. Overall, Shane's contributions to Udacity were invaluable, and he was a true asset to the team.

It’s been awesome working with Shane. He’s provided Rev’s Marketing Team with punchy, compelling copy for years and has never let us down. He always understands the assignment and has been invaluable in helping us scale our copywriting and content marketing efforts. Got a tight deadline? He can meet it. Emails, newsletters, blog articles, eBook revisions… he’s done it all. If you need a writer for a one-off project or ongoing contract needs, Shane is your guy.

I am almost never surprised or impressed. I mean generally, professionally, in life, whatever. Shane surprised me, which impressed me to the point that I was surprised. It was like a perpetual loop up. He was a wit. Highly adaptable. A particularly quick study of the company's process. He wrote well, emulating a pretty unusual style. He never missed a deadline. Not by even a narrow margin once. I can't recommend the guy enough.
