I’m the managing editor at Newspaper Toolbox and the founder of Crackerjack Content, a B2B content marketing magazine (scheduled to go live in 2019).
I like rainy days, hot sauce and reading bedtime stories to my five-year-old.
My most badass talent is parallel parking in the snow. I’m also really good at words and ideation.
Some people say I look like Renée Zellweger. I don’t see it.
I started penning short stories and poems when I was only 10 and eventually earned an undergraduate degree in creative writing from Vancouver Island University.
I began writing professionally in 2010 and have grown into a versatile craftswoman with many competencies.
Some things I’m pretty good at
I’m a nifty person. Here are a handful of the things I’m good at and like doing :
- Writing digital content (web pages, blog posts, e-books, landing pages, etc.)
- Content strategy—from ideation to implementation
- Content marketing (SEO, social media, blogging, newsletters, etc.)
- Writing headlines that get noticed (and clicked)
- Hiring, coaching and training writers
- Developing style guides, content calendars and social media calendars
- Combining big picture thinking with attending to the details
But I’m a work in progress
Some ways in which I’d like to continue to develop include:
- Getting better at curating and creating visual elements
- Improving my ability to speak, read and write in French
- Developing courses and training for writers and business owners who want to write better
