Communications for organizations that shape our communities

I partner with education, public health, and nonprofit organizations, along with purpose-driven businesses, to create and activate communications plans that inform, build trust, and drive action.

More About Katie

What I offer

I bring a marketing and digital mindset to communications for organizations that support the public good. That means not just getting information out, but implementing a cross-channel strategy that earns trust and moves people to act.

Communications & Campaign Planning

I create communications plans and campaigns that reach the right audiences across web, social, email, print, and earned media, built around clear goals and digital best practices.

Content Production

I write, edit, and manage production of reports, toolkits, webpages, emails, blogs, and social content. I coordinate subject-matter experts, reviewers, designers, and developers so work gets done on time and on brand.

Messaging

Whether you’re launching a new program, explaining a policy change, sharing a leadership announcement, or navigating a sensitive issue, I help you decide what to say and how to say it clearly and consistently to every audience.
