Leverage my 20+ years of journalism experience for content audits, editorial management, and style guide development. I provide the strategic oversight that ensures quality and consistency across all your communications.
Content strategy & owned media
Maximize your organizational channels with strategic content planning, website optimization, and compelling storytelling that engages your community and drives action.
Press relations & earned media
Get your story in front of the right audiences. I provide press release development, media outreach strategy, and spokesperson preparation to help you secure meaningful coverage.

Build your team’s capacity with customized workshops and targeted training that empowers staff and board members to communicate with confidence.
Content creation
When you need expertly crafted content, I deliver website copy, impact reports, grant language, and articles that capture your voice and advance your goals.
Portfolio
I’ve authored thousands of published newspaper articles, magazine features, and digital stories, including pieces that garnered national first-place journalism awards. But some of my best strategic work happens behind the scenes as I edit, ghost-write, and collaboratively produce high-profile assets — including bios, op-eds, presentations, and book chapters — for executive thought leaders. I’m happy to provide work samples upon request.
