Social Media Copywriting & Strategy

This is where I’ve quietly shaped some of my most impactful work. I’ve led content strategy, voice development, and digital storytelling behind the scenes for nonprofits, wellness brands, conservation organizations, local businesses, and national fundraising campaigns alike.

 

Client experience includes the Navy SEAL Foundation, Golden Apple Foundation, Hoover Institution, The Florida Aquarium, Yellowstone to Yukon Conservation Initiative, Paul Gregory Media, Total Body Health Center, Avatar Aesthetics Laser Center, Bradford & Kent Home Remodeling, Naperville Elderly Homes (Martin Avenue Apartments), DuPage Foundation, Coeur Mining, Bob Loquercio Auto Group, Proven Winners, and the DuPage County Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Unity Breakfast—among others.

 

Some projects came through agency partnerships. Others through freelance. But the voice behind the posts, the storytelling, the strategies, and content calendars?

 

That was me—start to finish.

 

Whether you're trying to grow your audience, deepen engagement, or just stay rooted in who you are, I’ll help you do all three—clearly, consistently, and authentically across every platform and post.

Visual Design & Strategy

Visual storytelling is more than just pretty pictures—it’s how your audience remembers you.

 

From clean, branded carousels and compelling event graphics to one-pagers and print collateral, I’ve designed content that’s scroll-stopping, meaningful, and on-message.

 

My daily toolkit includes Canva Premium, Meta Business Suite, Sprout Social, Buffer, Hootsuite, and Google Workspace—with the occasional creative polish in Adobe Creative Suite as needed.

 

No matter your team’s size—big or small—I’ll make sure your visuals are strategic, cohesive, and built for impact.

Personal Brand & Audience Growth

I’ve grown a 10K+ organic following across Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and my blog by showing up with honest stories, thoughtful branding, and consistent connection.

 

Now I help others do the same—building strategies that not only attract an audience, but resonate with the right one.

 

Whether you're starting from scratch or refreshing your presence, let’s create content people don’t just follow—but actually care about.

PR Strategy & Visibility Support

Clear communication matters—especially when visibility is mission-critical.

 

I’ve led PR and visibility efforts for dozens of regional and national initiatives—writing press releases, managing event coverage, facilitating on-site donor interviews, and building targeted media campaigns that drive real attention and action.

 

Highlights include:

 

Golden Apple Foundation

2023 & 2024 Golden Apple Impact Awards

Golden Apple Chicago Marathon Team

Other ongoing media campaigns + press coverage

 

DuPage Foundation & the DuPage County Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Unity Breakfast

Publicity efforts for events featuring civil rights attorney Fred Gray, Pulitzer Prize-winner Jonathan Eig, Grammy-winning producer Darius Brooks, Cognitive Scientist & National Bestselling Author Dr. Maureen Dunne, and more.

 

Navy SEAL Foundation

Midwest Evening of Tribute, Naples Evening of Tribute

Behind-the-scenes interviews with leadership and live, on-site donor conversations during key events

 

I’ve also written countless press releases that secured media coverage for educational nonprofits, DEI initiatives, conservation orgs, wellness brands, and more.

 

Need help increasing awareness, attracting coverage, or communicating clearly in crunch time? I’ve got you covered—especially when it counts.

Blog & Books

I’ve published original work in the form of essays, poetry, and reflections on the human experience—and have been fortunate to see it resonate.

 

My writing has been:

 

  • Featured by Kane County Magazine and Shaw Media

  • Included in the Republic of Letters Holiday Catalogue

  • Stocked at Town House Books (St. Charles, IL)

  • Available at the St. Charles Public Library

  • Showcased by Timbuktu Arts, Gannon University Alumni Magazine, and The Gannon Knight

 

I released my first book, A Moment in Time, in 2022, followed by a second edition later that year. I’m currently drafting my next book, Bittersweet State of Mind, slated for release by 2026.

 

Whether you’re trying to shape your voice, polish a personal story, or finally bring that passion project to life—let’s write it, together.
