Hey there, I'm Kelsey! Communications + Marketing Specialist living in Alabama.
I've been a storyteller since I was a kid, a skill I now use to create engaging content in the form of articles, digital ad copy, email newsletters, and more.
I've spent the last five years working for various companies to create compelling content, but I'm particularly passionate about:
​
-
Mental health & wellness
-
Creative businesses
-
Nonprofits
-
Fashion & beauty
-
Activism
-
Entertainment
-
Uplifting news
Each and every one of us has a story to tell - that's true of your company, too. I understand that words have power and that, when folks work together, the results can be magical.

Think we might make a great team?
