Hi, I'm Kara.

I'm a versatile writer, editor, and content strategist with more than a decade of experience managing brands and writers.

Throughout my career, I've become adept at learning new industries quickly and translating complex products and problems into clear, captivating content. I've worked in in-house roles and on the agency side on brands spanning tech, financial services, healthcare, arts, and education. I got my start in marketing as a jack-of-all-trades digital strategist, learned to churn out crisp copy and fresh ideas in the creative department at Hill Holliday, dug deeper into healthcare and B2B tech at athenahealth, and now lead the global content and communications team at Bullhorn, a software provider to the staffing industry. 

I've managed and mentored teams of writers and designers and developed networks of freelance creatives to expand upon in-house resources. One of my most gratifying jobs has been "editing up" -- providing editorial guidance to professionals and academics who are experts in their fields but may not be used to writing for a mainstream audience.

I also enjoy public speaking and have experience organizing, moderating, and speaking on panels for a variety of audiences.

A Boston-area native, I earned my B.A. in English and art history from Wellesley College and my M.A. in Communication, Culture, and Technology from Georgetown University.
