Using my background in journalism and expertise in food, drinks, and agriculture, I write compelling narratives, blog posts, and profiles for B2B publications, alumni publications, businesses, non profits, and beyond. Read through selected work below.
Note: I do not use AI for any of my work — these are human-generated em dashes — so please look elsewhere if that’s a condition of working with you. :)

Kara has been an excellent addition to our team. She is able to connect with an interviewee as if she is with an old friend picking up the conversation where they last left off. Kara writes with a crispness that is a natural fit for our style.

Kara’s work on our bi-weekly newsletter was absolutely invaluable. Her editing is precise and thoughtful and she created a newsletter format that we still use today. Kara was also instrumental in distilling and honing our voice as a business. She translated our vision for the shop into newsletter form, giving us a powerful marketing and promotional tool that still feels true to our community-minded mission.
