I’m Melissa: an adventure-seeking, story-telling, internet-loving, wordsmith. I have more than 13 years of experience executing on individual and team-based projects that expertly balance brand awareness and story.

I specialize in building content strategies that work. I create articles, case studies, email campaigns, website copy, bios, brand and style guidelines, social media posts, press releases, media pitches, headlines, newsletters, white papers, ebooks, playbooks, and guides. I also line edit and copy edit projects large and small.

When I’m not writing, I enjoy exploring new trails on my mountain bike, volunteering with the Tibetan Nuns Project (which provides education and humanitarian aid to refugee nuns from Tibet), and catching up on the news.

I believe…

 

Kindness matters.

This work is creative, fulfilling, and bursting with humanity. It requires flexibility, an open mind, and a desire to learn and explore.

You have a voice.

How you tell your story affects your brand engagement and the action your audience chooses to take.

Every word counts.

People scan headlines and skim text. Every word is an opportunity to make an impact and invite readers to go further.
