Going from working in the nonprofit sector, co-owning a small business (still do!), being a mom of 2 young boys….and now copywriting? Yep!

I enjoy writing…especially when it involves places or people that I care about. This includes local businesses in the town I call home.
I care about helping people reach their potential.
I care about your business being seen and building a reputation that is trustworthy and credible.
I love to research and any piece I work on will be well-researched content that speaks to your target audience.

2021-10-11 08:30 - 15:00 | 201 Mesquite Event Center, 201 Mesquite St., Abilene, TX, 79601, United States
This will be a 6-hour event on October 11th which brings nonprofits and for profit businesses together for a forum on economic & social exchange. With the added stress of the pandemic, lockdown and government mandates, enterprises have struggled (and some have lost) their ability to serve their clients and customers. This year’s focus will be an examination of the leaders’ core beliefs that have successfully navigated the challenges of this season. In the midst of loss, some enterprises have pivoted, continued and even thrived. With every loss there is a new opportunity if we can only see it. Join us to hear their stories and learn the secrets of their success while you meet new folks and get fresh ideas.
