𝗖𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗧𝗜𝗩𝗘 𝗣𝗥𝗢𝗝𝗘𝗖𝗧 𝗠𝗔𝗡𝗔𝗚𝗘𝗥 | Content Management, Systems Management I’m a creative project manager with 13+ years of experience leading content operations, managing workflows, and supporting founders, CEOs, and creative teams behind the scenes. I’ve worked across industries from fashion and publishing to tech and digital marketing. Specializing in content management and strategy, including overseeing WordPress publishing pipelines, planning editorial calendars, managing freelancers in Slack and Asana, and turning moving parts into a working system. I'm comfortable jumping into just about any tool—Notion, Airtable, Trello, ClickUp, WordPress, you name it—and I’m always looking for smart, creative ways to simplify systems. I type 120+ WPM, pick things up fast, and genuinely enjoy helping people stay clear, focused, and ahead of schedule. Using project management and research skills, I also work as a virtual assistant (VA) to help high-end solopreneurs and small business owners so that they can focus on growth instead of day-to-day details. I keep it simple: Good projects. Great people. Lots of planning. Continuous workflow management. 𝗛𝗜𝗚𝗛-𝗩𝗔𝗟𝗨𝗘 𝗖𝗢𝗣𝗬𝗪𝗥𝗜𝗧𝗘𝗥 | Copywriting, Ghostwriting I like my copy like I like my coffee: strong, smooth, and with a little bit of bite. ☕️ I write copy that feels clean, strategic, and sharp, without sounding like a sales robot. I work with founders, creative teams, and growing brands to shape messaging that makes sense from the inside out. That means your brand voice and story are dialed in across every touchpoint: website copy, blog posts, newsletters, email flows, LinkedIn thought leadership, professional bios, speeches, course scripts, and webinar content, internal SOPs, onboarding documents, sales decks, brand guidelines, pitch decks, product descriptions, FAQ pages, case studies, lead magnets, press releases, and investor materials. Niche? I’ve written for healthcare, technical Saas start-ups, and other detailed industries where clarity and accuracy matter as much as tone does. I’m a strong researcher and naturally curious, which means I’m confident writing across a wide range of industries, including pet care, veterinary, dental, digital marketing, branding, fashion, forestry, fitness, coworking spaces, construction, and real estate. 𝗣𝗢𝗗𝗖𝗔𝗦𝗧 𝗖𝗢𝗡𝗦𝗨𝗟𝗧𝗔𝗡𝗧 | Strategy, Editing, Production, Systems, Workflow I’m a podcast consultant and behind-the-scenes (aka ghost) producer who helps creators, coaches, brands, and entertainment pros like filmmakers, writers, performers, and comedians launch, manage, and run their shows. Bring your voice, your vision, your spark. I’ll manage the moving parts, production flow, scheduling, and freelancers, so your podcast runs like a well-oiled machine. Specializing in full podcast workflow: launch planning, episode scheduling, guest coordination, script prep, editing, post-production, uploading, show notes, and everything in between. I also help streamline systems, build SOPs, and keep your production process organized using tools like Google Drive, Notion, Trello, Libsyn, Blubrry, and Simplecast. As a 👻 ghost producer, I work without credit (don’t worry, I’ve got my own shows where I take the spotlight!) and focus fully on giving you a smooth, polished process that supports your voice, vision, and goals.
