Hi, I’m Katie. I specialize in writing marketing content that speaks directly to your audience—whether in the field, the classroom or the C-suite.

It might sound like the opening line of a bad joke: What do farming, education and leadership have in common?
Punchline: Me! OK … so humor isn’t my strong suit.

Let me tell you where I excel and where I can help you succeed: I’m a strong writer who doesn’t need handholding. I have extensive professional and personal experience in each of these markets.

I’m your path to better communication with farmers, educators or business leaders. I can script strong, persuasive copy and content that will resonate with your professional audiences.

Specialty Areas

specialty area - agriculture writing

Agriculture

I grew up on a farm. Unlike many writers, I know what it feels like to rise before the sun and quit working long after it sets. I know what is driving change in global agriculture, land use and the ways agricultural industry is responding to climate change. Learn more.

specialty area - education writing

Education

The complex, multifaceted education industry needs critical information to make focused decisions in an educational environment that can seem chaotic. I have worked in both a K-12 focused association and at an adult training program, which means I can be trusted to deliver content crafted to your audience whether those decisions are needed for purchasing, policy, projects or people. Learn more.

specialty area - leadership writing

Leadership

I understand the uncertainty business owners and C-suite executives face in the decision-making process for decisions that impact growth and employees. I also understand the critical nature of interpersonal skills and the intricacies of how a person “shows up” at work and how that presentation is received in the office place. I can help leaders get what they need to make sound, profitable decisions on culture, staffing and professional development. Learn more.
