My top priority is to help small businesses. Whether that’s getting online, getting the word out, or getting some internal advice, I’ve got a varied background in a number of areas that you can leverage to make your business truly shine.
Below are just some examples of the work I can do. I believe in customized, tailored services to fit your needs. Need help with something not on the list? Have a fixed budget? Want to mix and match services? Contact me to work out the best fit for you.
Maintain the feel of your business even in an online space. First I provide visual mock-ups of potential designs. Once you choose your favorite, I begin gathering visuals, writing content, and laying out the site. You have access to the in-progress site throughout to adjust my work as needed. After the site is fully designed and approved, I offer hosting and continued support options, or get you trained to manage your own website, whatever your needs require.
I use WordPress as my main framework to build you custom and unique websites. I have additional experience in Squarespace, Wix, and Weebly.

Whether you need ads or other print collateral, branding elements such as a new logo, infographics for your website or social media, product catalogues, or more, I’m here to help. Most of my graphic work is in conjunction with other projects, but I’m happy to help your organization draw the eye of everyone you come into contact with, no matter the situation.

If a picture is worth 1,000 words, then video speaks volumes. Video is the fastest growing type of content online, but the knowledge required to produce video and the intimidation factor bar a lot of small businesses from taking advantage of this medium.
I offer a broad spectrum of video assistance to businesses. Whether you need the full professional experience with lights, cameras, and microphones to showcase your business or film interviews; someone to coach you on producing your own videos; or just a final edit and polish on content you create yourself, I’m here to help.
Of all the skills listed on this page, I am the newest to video and still learning myself, so it may take me a little longer to create your finished project, but I work hard to be affordable and approachable for other newcomers to the game.

We live in a very visual world, and you deserve the best visuals to draw people into your business. When you need photos for your website, social media, marketing, events, or anything else, I’m here to help.
I’ll bring my Sony A-6100 mirrorless camera wherever you need me to capture your business, products, events, or people. Need products photographed? We can arrange pick-up for me to bring back to my studio to get the best shots without taking up your time.
When you have a loyal audience, keeping in touch with them is vital. Whether you want to send out monthly updates, quarterly check-ins, or annual reports, you can count on me.
I have experience with both digital newsletters using tools such as Constant Contact or Mailchimp, and with print newsletters sent through the mail. I can compile information given to me, or interview key personal to craft a compelling narrative of what is going on in your business. Let me put my creative and technical writing degrees to work for you.

I have over 8 years of experience working directly with small businesses. My previous job was working for a county Economic Development Council advising on subjects such as starting, growing or changing, or closing a business.

Business consultations come with strict confidentiality clauses. You can be sure that anything you tell me will not be passed along to anyone else without your express permission.

I have over 8 years experience teaching a wide variety of skills through one-on-one coaching, webinars, and seminars. I’ve received quite a bit of feedback that my style is very approachable, understandable, and welcoming to all skill levels.
Subjects covered include technology, social media, marketing strategies, websites, business basics, pretty much everything mentioned throughout this site. I have a bachelors in Creative Writing & Technical Writing, and a Masters in Marketing. I use my education and my years of experience with small businesses to help you gain new skills to take your business to the next level.
Reach out to me about training opportunities for yourself, your employees, or your community.
Events are my passion. Whether it’s gathering small groups of people together to focus on a particular topic, milestone events such as anniversaries or weddings, or huge community celebrations, I love working out the logistics and connecting the dots to create something everyone will be talking about.
I’ve organized business showcases, community dances, entrepreneurial competitions, scavenger hunts, game nights, business fairs, mixers, and more. I’ve got a MAST liquor license and connection to many food professionals. I’ve got you covered down to the last detail.
Whether you need help planning the perfect event, or just need an extra set of hands for the ideas you’ve cooked up yourself, I’m here to help.

Social Media
Social media is vital for small businesses. You can extend your reach to more audiences for cheaper and more efficiently than any other marketing channel.
But how do you choose? Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, Twitter, Tumblr, Pinterest, Snapchat, the list goes on and on. Not to mention how often these sites cycle through design changes, trends, and algorithms. You’ve already got a full plate with everything else you’re doing. I can help.
I’ll work with you to analyze your goals and your audience to choose the best platforms for your business. Your budget, needs, and goals decide whether we post a couple times a month or several times a week. I’ll create a bespoke content calendar to make sure your social media ties into important events, other advertising ventures, and product releases.
