Hey, I’m Melissa.
I help small businesses and non-profits tell their story with purpose and impact.
My Approach
Collaborative
I believe in the power of collaboration to create an authentic voice and image. As an extension of your team, I immerse myself in your vision and goals. I will always shoot it straight with you while being your number one cheerleader every step of the way.
Purpose
Identifying your brand’s purpose is where I like to begin. It’s where the meat of your story lives. And, without it, your impact will fall flat. Building upon that purpose inevitably makes for meaningful stories. Stories that your audience will want to engage with and listen to your brand as a voice of authority.
Community
It’s very important to me that your business or non-profit is engaged with its community. Nurturing relationships within that community makes all the difference, and is always front and center of my strategies.
What Clients are Saying
"Melissa is not only an incredible writer with an in-depth knowledge of the world of public relations, but also one of the most passionate and dedicated people I’ve had the privilege of working with in various capacities for nearly a decade. Her ability to craft compelling stories, connect with people on a genuine level, and bring creative visions to life is truly inspiring. Every project she touches is infused with her enthusiasm, expertise, and unwavering commitment to authentic storytelling. Beyond this, Melissa’s warmth and people skills make her an absolute joy to work with. I’m lucky to call her both a colleague and a friend, and I can’t recommend her highly enough."
Anna Roy, Fahlgren Mortine
"Working with Melissa has not only been beneficial for our restaurant but equally beneficial for my growth as a chef and a leader of a team. She makes herself available to talk shop as well as lends her ear to allow me to vent about the hardships of owning a restaurant and the ups and downs of management and cracking the code of this industry. Her work is professional, and she has integrated as a part of our team through helping out with special events at Rune and getting to know our management team, so I am not the only one who can put a name and appreciation to her face. I am sure that I have only scratched the surface as to what Melissa is capable of doing for Rune.”
