Our Character …
Amiable Sincere Diligent Generous Gentle Reliable
Frozen. On a mattress, on a hospital room floor, I sat staring at my then just days old daughter, born 4 weeks early. I hoped desperately that this premature life would be perfectly healthy, while worrying about trouble looming elsewhere in my family. Two days later, my 3-year-old nephew was diagnosed with Stage 4 Neuroblastoma. Cancer.
In that moment, the fragility of life grew so obvious. I felt something was out of alignment, but struggled to find the courage to understand why. I remember as a little girl spending hours creating novels, etching adventures page after page into piles of notebooks. As I grew up, this passion led me to pursue a degree in journalism. Then, I worked at a variety of newspapers – freelance and full-time, traditional and online.
At the time, I owner a digital marketing firm, but I wasn’t creating any of the copy for our clients. I had stopped writing.
After my daughter was born and my nephew diagnosed, I created a regular routine of writing again. I connected with a pediatric cancer nonprofit and volunteered to help the organization better write its story. I started freelance gigs, with one nonprofit after another. Story after inspiring story came to the surface.
I went on like that for a few years, by day feeling stuck as the owner of a digital marketing firm not aligned with my dreams, and by night pursuing my passion to tell impactful stories. In 2018, I launched Presence&Company Development Agency and soon after I sold my marketing firm.
Now, I embrace my own purpose: to make a difference for organizations through my storytelling and writing talents. I truly want to make a difference for your organization, and compelling writing is my way to do that. I would love to learn more about your story, and look forward to sharing your purpose.
