Storyteller: a job title you won’t find on my resume but the role I feel most comfortable occupying.Like many future English lit majors, I assumed I would pursue the romance of writing The Next Great American Novel. Imagine my disappointment, then, when I took a creative writing class in college and it just didn’t…click. I couldn’t make any sense of it -- I’d always excelled on my writing assignments; my papers received high praise and I enjoyed playing with words. A literary non-fiction course felt a bit closer to the mark, but that didn’t quite set me on fire either. Then, much like Goldilocks in pursuit of perfect porridge, I found a type of writing that fit just right while writing my undergraduate thesis. (About what, you ask? You guessed it: writing!)I found my home in the composition that allowed me to forward an argument and required that I elegantly pull together the evidence to persuade my readers. There was a period of time when this realization felt like a disappointment. Expository writing? Research?? The boring stuff?!I have since then fallen deeply in love with “the boring stuff” (graduate school will do that to you). Because in every research report, every grant proposal, every infographic and curriculum is a story waiting to move its audience. And I am an exceptional storyteller. My specialities include translating complex ideas into dynamic and digestible content and making highly specialized information broadly accessible across audiences. I am especially passionate about supporting writers, artists, and other creators. The skills and enthusiasm I bring will help you connect with and win over your audiences and clients. I would love to tell stories for you. Casely sounds like “paisley” with a “k,” for those curious about my somewhat unusual first name. I use she/her/hers pronouns.
