  “Katie has an ability to create an experience for the readers through her words! This has changed the way we reach potential clients and tell our story to the public!” —Megan Grote, Dabbert Custom Homes Storytelling is my jam. As a #wordnerd, it’s safe to say that I love what I do. With clients in a wide range of industries and a love for learning, you could say I’m multi-passionate. That being said, the housing industry is my bread and butter. I help home builders and other companies in the housing industry share their brand stories, create content marketing strategies, improve their digital presence, engage with their target audience, generate leads, and drive sales. Whether website copy, blog posts, social media, or email marketing, I provide them with the words that help their clients feel at home. “Katie is a true gem! She’s a fantastic writer, is very responsive, and of course creative. She will take your lackluster ideas and turn them into written gold. Beyond her amazing professional skills, she’s an all-around great person. ” — Stephanie Greischar, Front Step Marketing Show less
