WELCOME!

I'm Allison, a content creator and social worker.

Professional profile

I'm an award-winning senior writer with 8+ years of experience in marketing and data-driven content strategy. I've got a passion for implementing holistic communication plans that elevate social impact and drive brand awareness and engagement. I've also got an LMSW, an extensive creative portfolio and a Google Analytics certification.

As a social worker, I care deeply about serving others. After years working in mental health, I found I had a knack for storytelling too. With experience creating content on a wide range of topics, from family homelessness to higher education, I can help you or your organization tell your authentic story and get the results you want.

Let's make a difference
