Welcome!

Over the course of my career, I've had the privilege of working in a newsroom, on an in-house creative team, and with a communications consulting firm, creating content for my employer as well as for nonprofit clients. (I've also been a third-grade teacher, and while I'm particularly proud of the flip charts I made, my lesson plans would most certainly bore you.)

As a writer for Virginia Tech, I developed copy for Virginia Tech Student Affairs programs, events, and initiatives. Below you'll find: 

• A small sampling of feature stories.
• A link to view a mental health campaign I co-created.
• Two slogans I developed for a fundraising campaign, and the tagline I created for the division. (It's been three years since I left that position, and the tagline is still in full effect! #proudwritermoment)
  

As a communications strategist for Springboard Partners, I've collaborated with a host of nonprofits and adopted their distinct voice and tone to write brand-aligned copy for websites, social media, newsletters, op-eds, and presentations. Below are a few examples, including: 

• Website and social media content produced for the Children's Alliance of Kansas kinship initiative. One post shows the Department of Children and Families' use of a social media toolkit I created to promote our client's kinship training program. (Another #proudwritermoment!)
• An op-ed I ghost-wrote for the Ward 8 Community Economic Development initiative, which was published in the Washington Business Journal.
• A Q1 newsletter I created for our firm, titled We're Feeling (20)22. Because I'm a Swiftie.
