Hi! My name is Catherine. I'm a public historian by training with a Master's degree in the field of public history. I have a strong background in writing for a wide variety of audiences and a passion for distilling research down to easy-to-understand language. I love to both entertain and educate, which is why I'm a museum professional by day. While my focus is on historical and genealogical research, I also have experience writing on a wide variety of topics including real estate, pop culture, working in higher education, tourism content, and more! I also offer beta reading services with an emphasis on analyzing plot structure, pacing, world building, and character development. I have experience providing detailed feedback on a range of genres, both fiction and non-fiction. As a beta reader, my goal is to provide feedback that is useful to the author that will strengthen the work.

Your email list should not just collect subscribers. It should help recover abandoned carts, convert hesitant buyers, bring past customers back, and support repeat purchases. I help ecommerce, Shopify, SaaS, and digital-product brands build lifecycle email systems that turn subscribers, browsers, leads, first-time buyers, and past customers into active buyers. My work covers the full email marketing function: strategy, flow architecture, Klaviyo setup, segmentation, campaign planning, direct-response copy, email design direction, list hygiene, and optimization. I bring years of marketing experience into every project, so I look beyond the email itself. Before building or writing, I consider the customer journey, buying stage, offer, objection, friction point, audience intent, and next conversion action. That means each email has a clear job: build trust, handle hesitation, explain value, recover intent, encourage repeat purchase, or move the reader toward the next step. I can help with: Klaviyo & Ecommerce Email Marketing * Welcome flows * Abandoned cart and abandoned checkout flows * Browse abandonment flows * Post-purchase flows * Cross-sell and upsell emails * Winback and re-engagement campaigns * Product launch emails * Promotional campaigns * Customer retention campaigns * Lifecycle automation * Basic segmentation and list hygiene Email Strategy & Operations * Customer journey mapping * Email flow architecture * Campaign planning * Email calendar support * Audience segmentation * Lifecycle messaging strategy * Email performance review * Optimization recommendations * Klaviyo account and flow audits Direct Response Email & Funnel Copy * Sales email sequences * Lead nurture sequences * SaaS onboarding and activation emails * Digital product launch emails * Webinar and event email sequences * Landing page and sales page copy support * Offer positioning * Objection handling * Funnel copy audits Clients usually hire me when they need help with: * Turning subscribers into buyers * Recovering abandoned carts * Increasing repeat purchases * Reactivating inactive customers or leads * Improving lifecycle messaging * Building or improving Klaviyo flows * Writing better promotional and sales emails * Creating email campaigns that are ready to implement * Improving the connection between their offer, funnel, and email strategy What you can expect from my work: * Clear email strategy before execution * Copy matched to the customer’s stage of awareness * Subject lines and preview text * CTA direction * Flow or sequence structure * Implementation-ready email copy * Notes on the main objection or goal behind each email * Clear written updates and organized deliverables I work well from written briefs, Loom videos, product pages, brand documents, customer research, existing emails, and funnel assets. You can send over your product, audience, offer, and goal, and I’ll map the email strategy and copy around the customer journey and the action you want people to take. If you need someone who can handle both the strategy and execution behind email marketing, I can help you build lifecycle emails, campaigns, and Klaviyo flows that are structured, persuasive, and ready to use.
