Hire a writer from your world
Crafting great stories is only half the job. You also need someone who understands your advocacy. Someone who can analyze policy, navigate tricky group dynamics, and talk to people from all walks of life.
With over a decade of experience in nonprofit advocacy & media and a policy degree under my belt, I deliver two perspectives for the price of one: the skills of a journalist and the mind of an advocate.
Services
Narrative Strategy
Great stories start with strong messaging. Together, we can identify your organization’s core message and build the raft that will carry that message: your core story.
Ethical Storytelling
People have power. Regardless of their age, background, or circumstance. That power should be reflected in your storytelling process.
As a community-based researcher and trauma-informed journalist, my goal is to tell stories with communities, not for them. Whether I am interviewing a family for a video series or designing a study with students, my projects infuse transparency, collaboration, and consent into the creative process.
Editorial Direction & Production
At Macombs Studio, ambitious, public-facing projects get a magazine treatment. You will receive end to end editorial support—from narrative to visuals to distribution across platforms. You will have access to a top-tier network of graphic designers, photographers, and videographers. And you won’t have to lift a finger. I’ll manage the project from start to finish.
