    I am a communicator, writer, and hard worker. I left my position at a PR agency in favor of freelancing to be able to connect with clients. I now specialize in crafting content that helps users understand and interact with technology. I am confident in story-telling that moves people to action. AI never does the work for me. I write my own material, and you can choose if you'd like me to use specific AI tools to enhance it (including advanced grammar checking, JasperAI, etc). I take personal accountability for the results of my writing, ensuring the final product is error-free and polished. Here's what I can do: 🚀 Website copywriting 🚀 Email newsletters 🚀 Sales one-pagers 🚀 Blogs 🚀 Articles 🚀 About me sections 🚀 Tech, healthcare, finance, start-up, food and beverage industries In order to make your project a success, we'll chat about what you need before we enter a contract: ✔ What defines success for this project? ✔ Do you have any similar examples? ✔How (and how often) do you prefer we communicate? ✔ Is fixed-price, hourly, or "per word" the best approach for your work? ✔ Do you prefer I use grammar-checking software? ✔ Do you prefer we start with a trial project? ✔ Do you need any help with the visuals? Here's how I typically work: ✍ Get to know each other: A quick call will put us on the same page to make sure I understand what you need. This usually takes about 15 minutes. ✍ Research: Gather material and set up documents that will be used in the work. ✍ Work: Write the material. Wait a day. Edit with fresh eyes. ✍ Deliver: Deliver the first draft of the material two days early to allow time for revision. Typically delivered in a .pdf, .doc, or Google Doc. ✍ Connect: Message you to confirm you're happy with the work. If I missed the mark, my first set of revisions are free. When you're ready to invest in your project, message me to see if I can help.

    Hi I'm Elizabeth! I received my MS in Human Nutrition from the University of Illinois, Chicago and I am a Registered Dietitian in the Chicago area. I am passionate about helping clients learn how to eat intuitively, establish peace with their bodies and discover their ultimate body glow from the inside out. Additionally, I specialize in helping clients decrease bloat and discover the root cause of digestive woes while helping to improve sleep, balance energy and enhance overall well-being. I’m a Registered Dietitian with an integrative approach to total mind-body health. I'm passionate about shattering the mental health stigma while providing diet-related, issue-specific solutions. Currently, while working on my private practice, Body Glow Nutrition, I work as a clinical dietitian. My travel through various states and hospitals gives me a unique view on what people are looking for from their nutrition information. My "previous life" was in public relations and strategic communication and I worked day-to-day with food/beverage, restaurant and hospitality clients. This brings me a unique perspective and skillset as writing, communicating and selling a product or idea was at the basis of what I did. My distinctive professional background along with my personal interest in nutrition gives me the ability to communicate with readers in an engaging and honest way. People trust me and I believe it is because I am genuinely me. I believe in what I do and it shows. Here's where I can help you: - Food therapy - Medical nutrition therapy - Mind/body connection - Mental health & diet - Writing (blogs, articles, guest editor, etc) - Research (products, trends, etc) - Meal planning - Grocery tours - Kitchen efficiency - If you can dream it (and it's nutrition-related), I can help achieve it!

    Media pitching powerhouse. Avid mystery novel reader. News and current events fanatic. Everything bagel destroyer. Social media maven. Copywriting machine. ENFJ. Oh, and I almost forgot, your next freelancer. It’s great to e-meet you, most powerful hiring manager! My name is Jill Williams, and I am originally from Nashville, Tennessee — Yeehaw! Growing up in a city filled with country music stars, huge corporations and fast-paced business professionals helped me center my career aspirations in communications at an early age. I studied at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, and received my bachelor’s in advertising and public relations and subsequently opted for a master’s concentrated in communications to expand my skillset while simultaneously working in the field. I graduated in May of 2022 with a 4.0 GPA and relocated to the Windy City of Chicago to begin my next chapter. I’ve had the opportunity to work in different communications capacities throughout my career including agency, in-house and digital marketing positions. Each of these unique roles has shed light on the fact that multiculturalism, gender and age diversity should be top of mind when a practitioner designs campaigns. I have witnessed big wins in diversity, equity and inclusion efforts in the last few years, but I believe to make larger, more impactful differences communications professionals hold a powerful key. After all, we do not tell our audiences what to think, but we do offer suggestions for them to think about. Representation, respect and sensitivity are three crucial pillars I look for in modern communications campaigns and I make a conscious effort to keep them in mind as I work in such an influential and visible field. I tend to dismiss the ordinary and take the road less traveled—unless it’s a TikTok trend, of course.
