Let’s write the next chapter of your mission—together.
At its best, writing is more than words on a page. It’s a powerful force that stirs emotion, builds trust, and forges deep, lasting connections with those who matter most—your funders, supporters, and community.
When your message truly resonates, it doesn’t just inspire—it endures. It turns readers into believers, and believers into lifelong champions. That’s the kind of writing that drives sustainable funding and fuels long-term impact.
Let’s craft messaging that not only tells your story—but helps shape your future.

Meet Jen.
A proud alum of Central Michigan University, there, Jennifer fell in love with the field of Recreation and Parks. In fact, she fell so in love with it that she spent the next 20+ years in programming, strategic planning, public relations, fund development, and partnership/coalition building with other essential community service agencies.
​
Ask anyone who has worked with Jen in any capacity...ever...and they will likely tell you that she has a way with words. Today, she's excited to work with organizations and brands that are looking to take their professional communications and storytelling to the next level.

Professional Highlights
Experience
Jen operated as the Recreation and Cultural Arts Supervisor for Canton Leisure Services where she was a key member of their leadership team. During her tenure there, she oversaw a state-of-the-art 400-seat performing arts center, a community farmers market, summer camps, a youth & teen center, an award-winning therapeutic recreation program, and much more. She also proudly served as a liaison for the Canton Coalition for Inclusive Communities and the Commission for Culture, Arts, & Heritage. Her commitment to fund development contributed to the completion of several major capital projects, the launch of countless of new programs, and hundreds of thousands of dollars in financial support for important local initiatives. ​
For the last 3 years, Jen has been proudly (and successfully) providing her grant writing, data collection, and community coalition building skills to the Living & Learning Enrichment Center in Northville.
