Strategic Communications
and Marketing.
For over 15 years I worked in-house doing strategic communications for various industries, including the not-for-profit sector. Today I consult for organizations that are driven by their values and commitment to making a positive difference in this world.
I specialize in strategic communications, helping values-driven organizations elevate their messaging and impact. In addition to strategic communications, I offer social media management and copywriting services, all tailored to reflect each organization’s unique voice and goals. If you're a passionate, ethical organization with a clear service or offer, and you’re looking for help making strides in your
communications or marketing strategy, let's connect:

Real, values-based work.
Since going solo in 2023, I’ve had the honour of working with entrepreneurs and organizations that truly demonstrate their values in the ways they impact the community. As a feminist, leftist, and mom of two, I’m drawn to work that pushes for real change.
I collaborate with clients who are deeply committed to causes like fighting for worker rights and safety, promoting ethical leadership, and breaking down the barriers that impede access to justice, housing, safety, and fair treatment, especially for people marginalized by poverty, disability, or systemic discrimination. My role is to help organizations reach the people who need to hear their message.
Today I’m grateful to say that the work I do isn’t just a job. Instead, it’s about making sure the people I partner with share my commitment to meaningful progress. Brass tacks, I’m not interested in performative values. I want to collaborate with organizations who are in it for the long haul, ready to build a world that reflects the ideals we stand for — even if it means challenging the status quo.
I bring my love of writing, reading – rhetoric – into everything I do. And whether it's through strategy, writing, or advocacy, I’m committed to doing good work with people who are as committed to making a difference as I am.
