I’m Colleen, a freelance writer interested in telling the stories of inspiring people who make an impact in their communities and in helping nonprofits promote their work through engaging content.

I was able to do that in recent years as a staff writer for animal welfare organizations, where I developed an extensive knowledge of the field’s progression and challenges. However, I also know what it takes to write detailed, accurate and evocative content for a variety of audiences and platforms. I’ve written for daily newspapers, magazines and nonprofit websites, and even dabbled in technical writing. My journalism degree has given me a solid foundation for all this work.

Here I am, on assignment at a horse rescue.

When I’m not writing about or helping animals (I’ve been a proud foster cat parent for nearly three years), I’m an avid traveler. For me, the best way to get inspired for stories is to see the world, meet new people and gain different experiences.

Whether I’m writing or editing articles, website content, marketing emails or other materials, I’ll ensure my work will be well-researched and compelling.
