Just a Few Highlights.
From interviewing an international model about beauty activism to writing editorials and op-eds about healthy lifestyle, I can help you create content aligned with your values and mission. Looking for an engaging speaking? Through the years, I have been a guest speaker at conferences and workshops. My favorite topics include anything about healthy aging, personal branding, and pivoting your career.
A successful social media strategy is more than just posting. As one of my passions, it is a key part of my content strategy process. Whether getting new customers, connecting with your target audience, or self-promotion, building a good social media strategy can help get the outcomes you want.
Why Work Together?
With a knack for crafting messages that resonate with audiences, I enjoy helping brands find ways to communicate their efforts effectively. I do this creatively through blog posts, in-depth reporting, social media, white papers, and newsletters. I also enjoy helping the next generation of writers as a writing coach, sharing tips and tricks I’ve learned over the years in my professional life. Ultimately my goal for each project is good storytelling that achieves client success. If you want to take your personal or corporate brand and business to the next level, contact me today!
