Before turning to full-time nonprofit copywriting, I spent a decade as an international humanitarian worker.I'm a bit 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.
