    "I like weed and I'm a great writer, so I'm kind of a perfect fit." That's basically how I got my first cannabis writing job. Since then, I've learned a thing or two about the value in properly selling yourself and picked up a lot of meaningful work while I've been at it. From helping small brands get off the ground with educational blogs to writing hard-hitting pieces about the state of our industry's equity problem, I'm an all-around expert in cannabis content. Of course, cannabis isn't my *only* world, and I've covered plenty of music, arts, food, and lifestyle-centered content as well. My passion for plant-centered wellness has also landed me in the mushrooms, psychedelics, and alternative therapies space.

    I help save you time so that you can focus on what’s important. Hi, my name is Christy and I’m here to serve as your Chief of Staff/People & Business Operations/Queen of Special Projects. Currently I lead the People function at a tech and management consultancy based in Greater Seattle. Because we’re a smaller company I wear many hats (executive assistant, operations, marketing, biz dev, special projects). My professional history includes working with CEOs in various industries, ranging from startups to HR consulting firms and working with execs at Fortune 100s such as Microsoft through client-based work. My skills include: Project Management, HR/People Operations, Business Operations, Writing, Editing, Event Planning, Research, Communications, just to name a few. I’m familiar with most tools out there and can easily ramp up if I’m not 🙂. There’s never a lack of projects to be taken on or priorities. I can help you sift through those priorities to understand the most meaningful for the business or you can hire me with your tasks in mind and I’ll take it off your plate. Why me? I have an ownership mindset and that’s what tends to set me apart from just checking the box off a to-do. I love building, which is why I thrive in a startup environment. Being able to spin up an idea and execute within the same day is exciting to me. Not to mention the impact! I’m looking to join Upwork so that I can contribute my skills and help make a difference to someone looking for solutions now. Brain dump your ideas on me via virtual meeting or email, I’ll “download the data” then get to work in fulfilling the job. I'll also collaborate with you, your teams, or leadership team to be a strategic partner. Looking forward to working with you! Cheers, Christy P.S. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or concerns about my qualifications. Happy to provide references!

    I am a multi-disciplinary artist with a lot of experience curating spaces for artists, writers, and musicians to gather. I have 2+ years of experience meeting artists where they're at in the event planning stage: whether it's just an idea or ready to hit the ground running, I will back the artist up through start to finish. My other specialty is jack-of-some-trading. I've done gurella-style marketing with flyers I made in photoshop for an event I re-created, started a business from scratch (twice), and consulted with many BIPOC women and femmes using astrology and tarot. Book me if: * You are an artist or creative person wanting to promote your self/your project but are having a difficult time figure out where to start and who will host you (Seattle only) *You are an artist or creative person wanting a sounding board on how to be more inclusive in your event space and strategies to market in different or non-traditional ways (anywhere) *You enjoy using spiritual methods (astrology, tarot) to check in with yourself and figure out where you've been/want to go next (anywhere) *You run an astrology-based website and need somebody with an advanced understanding that can break it down into something easier to understand (anywhere) Here's how I work: * I often front-load so that I can concentrate on juggling multiple projects. I prefer to deliver the result by showing the progress so I may not be the fastest responder by text or e-mail. However, I go above and beyond to be available at times that work for both of us when you want to check in or have any questions. * I enjoy flexibility! As long as the hard deadline of an article or reading is set, the rest gets done. Sometimes this means in small pieces over the course of a deadline, and others it means doing a 4 hour typing stint in one day. * I strive to be friendly but honest. If I think an element in your plan (event) or a part of your natal chart needs to be scrutinized (astrology), I try to walk you through why I'm saying what I am and how to transmute that into BETTER. Just because an idea sounds good, doesn't mean it can't change into something more wonderful than what you came in with. * You don't mind a little quirky. I am neurodivergent and not always the best at grasping a cue. I strive to have an equitable relationship with my client by letting them know our environment is one where we can be sincere with each other, but have some fun.

    10+ years experience as an open format event DJ. I prefer to perform on turntables whenever space and venue permits, but can tuck into a corner with a micro rig when needed. I can provide my own speakers and club style lighting. Have done everything from weddings and birthdays to multi-day conventions for major corporate entities. I own a professional recording studio and produce music for myself and clients from solo singers to full bands. Have been teaching lessons for many years to kids and adults on DJing, digital music production, recording and audio engineering. I try not to limit myself to a pre-determined playlist, but instead arrive with a large variety of music and cater to the crowd in front of me.
