About Me

Black and white headshot of Haley smiling.

Hey, I’m Haley. :) As a creative thought partner, brand & content strategist, writer, and editor, I create story-driven strategy for conscious brands.

I'm an enthusiastic, creative geek who LOVES storytelling of all kinds. I have experience in multiple industries, including digital marketing, health & wellness, entertainment, social media, journalism, print media, e-learning, and technical publications. 

My diverse writing background and love of pop culture, entertainment, performing arts, and media have given me a unique perspective on content and brand voice, enabling me to treat each project as a creative endeavor.

Whether I'm glued to an amazing film, writing my own fiction, buried in a book, listening to my favorite music, or helping you tell your brand story, I'm usually immersed in some form of storytelling.

Some Fun Facts…

  • Proud “weirdo” and Renaissance woman here! I’ve worked in many industries and have a wide range of special interests and obsessions, including history, music, movies, and Broadway musicals.
