About Katie
I'll be the first to tell you I'm not a natural creative—and that you don’t have to be good with words to tell a good story.Before turning to full-time nonprofit copywriting, I spent a decade as an international humanitarian worker.I'm a little obsessed with brain science and how stories drive behavior and move audiences to act.Today I bring that storytelling lens into brand messaging and positioning for nonprofits that want to become impossible to ignore.
