About Every business has a story—let’s make yours one they want to hear. You’re passionate about what you do. You know your work solves problems, improves lives, and makes a difference. But sometimes, getting that story across to the right audience feels harder than it should. That’s where I come in. With over 30 years of experience as a marketing consultant, I specialize in helping businesses like yours tell stories that engage, build trust, and convert. Whether through email marketing campaigns, strategic content creation, or refining your overall messaging, I bridge the gap between your passion and your audience. I’ve worn many hats over the years—email marketer, content creator, podcast producer, consultant, and mentor—and I’ve worked with businesses of all kinds to simplify their message, connect with their audience, and achieve results. How I Help Email Marketing That Connects • Campaigns that don’t feel like ads—because they’re written to engage, resonate, and inspire action. Audience segmentation for relevance. • Data-driven techniques like A/B testing to optimize results. Clear, Strategic Content • Blogs, social posts, or web content—crafted with clarity and purpose to reflect your voice and speak to your audience. • Storytelling that builds trust and loyalty. Marketing Audits & Strategy • Need a fresh perspective? I analyze what’s working, identify gaps, and create a clear path to better results. Mentorship & Consulting • Think of me as a guide on your marketing journey. I’ll help you refine your brand, strategy, and tools to connect with your audience authentically. What’s It Like to Work With Me? I start by listening—really listening. I ask questions, dig deep, and get to know what makes your business tick. Then, I use storytelling, creativity, and strategy to create messaging that feels human, clear, and exactly what your audience needs to hear. Take Judy at Mountain Baby. Her passion for helping parents was undeniable, but she needed help simplifying her messaging and connecting with her audience. Together, we created relatable, engaging email campaigns and content that: • Sparked heartfelt responses. • Boosted in-store activity. • Built trust with her customers. Or Marlyna Los, a Feng Shui Master and teacher. I worked with her to transform complex teachings into content that educated, inspired, and increased enrollment in her courses year after year. So, what does your story sound like? Talk to me. I’m all ears. Message me to book a no-obligation free 20-minute consultation.
