Deep experience in employee wellness—applicable across sectors.
Most of my experience has been built in the employee wellness space – mental health, disability management, insurance benefits, organizational health.
This background has built a strong understanding of complex, people-focused services, regulated environments, and high-stakes evaluation processes.
But strong writing isn’t industry specific. It’s about understanding requirements, structuring a response, and telling a clear, compelling story. These skills translate anywhere.
Hi! I'm Emma.
I'm a seasoned writer, manager, strategist, and champion of mental health in the workplace.
I'm also a mother, wife, daughter, sister, friend, champion of women in ALL spaces.
We all have a story to share. Here's mine.
How I help, in 3 simple steps.
1. Create a plan
We discuss your needs relating to proposals or grants, and then I create a plan and quote to provide you with the necessary support.
2. Prepare a draft
After you approve the quote, you share the necessary files, and I will prepare a draft. We'll review and edit it together so that it matches your brand and style.
3. Finalize the proposal
Once the documents are finalized, you take it from there! Submit it, rock your presentation, and know that no matter what, you put your best foot forward.
Let's work together.
