Hi, I’m Tarah.
I’ve spent more than fourteen years writing and developing communications strategy for national brands and mission-driven organizations.
I work independently as a freelance writer and communications strategy consultant—brining my storytelling experience, writing versatility, and strategic background to my clients.
I've written for executives, wrote launch copy for new brands, and turned complex ideas and technical concepts into stories that move people to action.
What Makes Me Different
I’m a writer and a communications strategist. When you work with me—no matter the project—you get both sides of my brain.
That means you get:
a writer who also understands the strategy behind your content and campaigns;
and a communications consultant who crafts more than slide decks and creates the content and messages that meaningfully move your audience and your goals.
My writing is always striving for a goal, connecting to the bigger picture. My strategy understands the challenges of content creation, what’s feasible, what actually works to move people to action.
How I Work
I come to every project with curiosity and the drive to deliver meaningful results.
I ramp up quickly, ask questions, and put my head down to develop the content, copy, or strategy on-time, within your budget, and aligned to your goals.
Give me your problem, your project, your pie-in-the-sky idea—I’d love to work with you.
A Bit More Personal
I live in Silver Spring, Maryland with my husband and our Great Dane, Merlin. (Before you ask: yes, our dog thinks he’s the reincarnated wizard 🧙♂️).
I'm a former competitive swimmer turned horseback rider. These days I still swim laps, but most evenings you'll find me at the farm where I keep my retired racehorse, Gator. I start my mornings with too much coffee and end my days with a good book.
I believe in the magic of everyday moments and that love ultimately wins the day.
