About Me

I’m a writer passionate about helping businesses tell their sustainability stories and lead change in the marketplace.

Hey there, I’m Colleen.

I’m an award-winning freelance writer who helps businesses tell their compelling stories in a way that gets engagement, generates buzz and is a catalyst for change.

After working as a reporter covering environmental issues for the Associated Press, I parlayed my ability to write fast and get up-to-speed quickly on new topics into sustainability-focused industries such as land use, transit, water, energy and environmental management. I provide a variety of content, from case studies and news releases to blog posts, presentations and more. I also have extensive experience ghostwriting content and speeches for executives and elected officials.

I hold a Bachelor of Arts degree in English with Honors from University of California, Santa Barbara (Go Gauchos!) and am a graduate of the Santa Clara County Leadership Academy.

My career combines the two things I’m passionate about: writing and making the world a better place.

The Value I Offer

I’m a storyteller with years of experience writing for individuals and organizations. That has given me the ability to:

Put better tools in your toolbelt: Quality written materials are tools to win clients. Blog posts, case studies, white papers and other content establish your company as an authority, offer value and develop trust – all important factors in attracting customers.

Translate the complex to the comprehensible: When you really know your stuff, it can be difficult to share your story with those who don’t have your vocabulary or experience, such as people outside your industry, or even potential clients. This is where I can make your life easier. Making complicated ideas understandable is my superpower.
