About Me

Susan's Headshot. White, middle age woman with wavy hair, red lipstick, and a black turtle neck sweater.

I started my career as a writer with a deep love of language, shaped by a childhood surrounded by books and a formal education in professional writing and English literature.

As I worked with mission-driven organizations, something became clear: they didn’t just need clean copy. They needed clarity, strategy, and a trusted partner who could connect their big ideas to business outcomes.

Over the past 14+ years, I’ve built a reputation as that partner, helping organizations across education, public sector, philanthropy, and sustainability.

I bring a rare blend of skilled writing, strategic thinking, and a genuine passion for transforming abstract ideas into measurable revenue and meaningful impact.

Because storytelling, when done well, isn’t soft. It’s smart business that drives both purpose and profit.
