Ever since I can remember, I've been passionate about storytelling and the power of clear communication. This passion has driven me to build a career that bridges journalism and strategic communication. Today, my approach is focused, insightful, and human-centered. As a versatile communicator, I can connect with diverse audiences and adapt my storytelling to various platforms.
My journey has taken me from reporting on regional issues in Georgia to supporting human rights defenders, where I was working as a Communications Officer. I’m also pursuing a Ph.D. in Mass Communications at Tbilisi State University, with research focusing on fake news and propaganda in the media landscapes of Georgia, Ukraine, and Estonia. As an invited lecturer at the same university, I find joy in sharing my knowledge and sparking curiosity in my students.
I contribute as a freelance journalist to several Georgian and international media outlets, staying closely connected to the local media scene and reporting on stories that matter. I also bring my love for photography into my work, capturing compelling visuals to accompany my articles. With a background in Political Science (BA) and Mass Communications (MA), I’ve gained a deep understanding of journalism, media relations, and visual content creation. I’ve had the privilege of working on projects that make a difference, and I've been recognized for my efforts to bring regional stories to a broader audience.
But this is just part of my story. I’m excited for the opportunity to create something meaningful with you!
I can help with:
⦁ News and feature articles
⦁ Blog posts and thought pieces
⦁ Press releases and strategic communications
⦁ Interviews and storytelling
⦁ Research and analysis
⦁ Visual content creation, including photography
⦁ Scriptwriting and multimedia projects

Hi, I'm Elizabeth. I help my clients stand out in an AI-saturated landscape with well-researched, wholly human content that speaks directly to their audience and establishes them as a reliable and credible source.
══════════════════════════════════════
As a journalist and content creator with a decade of experience, I've worked with publications and companies like Lonely Planet, National Geographic, TripAdvisor, and DirectBooker. I provide authentic insight into traveling in places like Europe, Central America, and the United States. I write about things you can't find on a quick Google search and leverage my years of experience on the road to tap into what readers truly want to know about.
I also specialize in content for the hospitality, healthcare, automotive, health and wellness, and food and beverage sectors. I break down complex topics and ideas into approachable text that's both easy to read and full of useful information.
“Elizabeth was great to work with! A+ communication and content quality. I also appreciated that she sounded like a true travel vet in her article assignments. Awesome tips, insider knowledge, etc. Would hire her again!”
How I Can Help
★ Expert advice from a seasoned journalist and author on your current content: what works, what doesn't, and how to improve it.
★ An understanding of what differentiates you from your competitors and how to promote yourself effectively through smart content.
★ Real talk about what your audience/customer needs and the best way to communicate with them. We'll look at the demographics and discuss the best path forward.

“Elizabeth is an incredible writer! Her choice of words is spot-on, and she has the best attitude towards her work. Not only that, but she works super fast too! I highly recommend her; she's simply the best!”
When you work with me, you have a dependable and consistent partner who will deliver great work over a long period of time. My clients count on me for high-quality content again and again, and my Upwork reviews and Top Rated freelancer status confirm this!
My approach is simple: establish you as a leader in your industry and keep your audience engaged with smart, never-canned, meticulously researched content. As the lead writer on Lonely Planet's latest Costa Rica guidebook, with countless bylines under my belt, I understand the importance of providing valuable and unique information and never relying on fluff or guessing.

Marketing was never just a job choice for me.
It’s been part of my life for as long as I can remember.
Writing, ideas, campaigns, understanding people and why they react the way they do.. this has always been my world.
It’s what I studied professionally, what I chose as my career path, and honestly, what I always said I wanted to become “when I grow up”.
I spend most of my time thinking about ideas. Not because I have to, but because that’s where I find focus, calm, and motivation.
Marketing is the space where my curiosity rests. It’s where strategy meets psychology, creativity meets structure, and ideas turn into something real. Over the years, I’ve built experience across writing, campaign development, paid ads, social media visuals, and web projects.
But what connects everything I do is campaign thinking. I don’t approach tasks separately. I think in systems. The idea, the message, the audience, the format, and the final execution all need to work together.
Campaign ideation is one of my strongest skills. I’m often involved from the very beginning. Shaping the concept, defining the core idea, planning the narrative, writing scripts and scenarios, and helping guide the creative direction. In video campaigns, this usually means working on the concept, story flow, scriptwriting, scene logic, and overall message clarity so the final result feels intentional and human, not forced or generic.
Travel also plays a big role in how I think and work. I’m deeply interested in different cultures, social values, and human behavior. I pay attention to how people communicate, what they respond to, and how psychology shifts across environments.
Studying psychology and marketing together has become more than a professional interest. It’s a long term passion that constantly shapes how I understand audiences and build campaigns. I don’t see myself as someone who only fits into one narrow marketing role.
I’m a marketing nerd in the best sense of the word. I’ve spent years learning, observing, testing, writing, and refining because I genuinely want to be exceptional at this craft. Becoming a stronger writer, a sharper audience thinker, and a better campaign builder is what drives me.
This deep curiosity and commitment is what makes my work strong. I care about ideas. I care about clarity. I care about how people feel when they see a campaign, read a line of copy, or interact with a brand.
If you’re looking for a generalist marketer or a specialist within it - writing, content, ideas, campaigns, or brand building - I’m someone who brings these roles together into one clear, thoughtful approach.
