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.

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.
