I’m Stephanie, the trauma-informed copywriter connecting you with your dream clients.

about

You might have noticed by now that my path to becoming your copywriter took a few twists and turns. Human lives are more complicated than math equations. Writing was my first love. I followed my curiosity about human culture all the way through a doctoral program only to realize academia didn’t give me the freedom or resources to create the life I wanted.

So I gave teaching high school a try. As much as I loved working in Special Education, I found myself on the road to burn out.

As a copywriter, I get to combine the skills I honed in anthropology and special education to build burnout-proof marketing for other entrepreneurs.

You can count on me to be as human as the copy I write for you. But I do have one superpower: I can pinpoint exactly what makes your brand one of a kind. Even if you think you’re not all that different from your competitors, I know which questions to ask to get you capital T Talking.

Usually, my copywriting clients say, “Wow. I feel like I rambled.”

My response? “Perfect.”

My background in anthropology primed me to sift through all those words to find patterns and meaning. It worked when I was studying concepts of personhood in New Orleans cultural communities, and it works for crafting unique brand messaging.

As someone who often struggles to express myself and what I do through words, I cannot tell you what a huge relief it was to have Steph help me create my website copy. They were able to sift through my long rambles and really help me identify my core values that I wanted to shine through my brand and website copy. I was drawn to work with Steph because they claimed to work through a trauma informed lens, and I found that to be absolutely evident in the way they so effortlessly created a non-judgmental space and handled every question and detail with thoughtfulness and care.

Plants make me happy. Hiking, gardening, and mixing loose leaf tea all hold a certain magic over my nervous system.

A decade ago, my friends used to tease me about distrusting robots. Now who’s laughing, hmmmmm?

My spouse Theo and our kid are my favorite people. We take our kid everywhere with us, from Joshua Tree to Germany. Our little trio is my biggest priority in life.

At some point in our conversation, I’ll probably make a reference to my Astrological Big Three. Because I know you’re wondering, I’m a Libra sun, Capricorn moon, and Scorpio rising.
