Writing: Content + Copy
I wrote pieces for Recovery Beyond, a nonprofit organization that aids in recovery from drug & alcohol addiction by building healthy lifestyles for lasting recovery, from 2018-2021.
I became involved with this organization during graduate school. For my capstone project, I needed to work with an organization and help them solve a problem.
I helped Recovery Beyond with the business logistics of building an online store for their website where they could sell Recovery Beyond merchandise, such as hats, shirts, and mugs.
I soon became involved as a volunteer following this. I assisted with writing stories to be used for the newsletter, fundraising, and raising awareness about Recovery Beyond.
"Braving the Elements to Support Lasting Recovery"
A piece I wrote about Recovery Beyond's Mount Rainier climb.
A piece I wrote about the benefits of acupuncture for treating drug and alcohol addiction. I interviewed a local acupuncturist for this piece.
A piece I wrote about Becky Vinson, RB volunteer.
"Little Si: Let the Condition begin!"
A piece I wrote about the start of training season for the climb team.
"Our inaugural backpacking trip to Spider Meadows"
I wrote this piece detailing the first backpacking trip this organization held.
"Success is More than a Summit"
I wrote this piece about defining success and that it is more than a summit.
"From Seattle to Portland, Riding for Recovery"
A piece I wrote about a program volunteer.
"A Recovery Beyond Super Volunteer"
A piece I wrote about a program volunteer.
"National Volunteer Month" A piece I wrote highlighting the work the volunteers do and honoring them.
I started writing newsletters for Old Friends Club, a nonprofit that providers dementia day programming as well as caregiver respite, in September 2020.
I currently research and write two newsletters a month that are filled with dementia caregiver resources - activities, education, and support. I use iContact to write and send the newsletters and then share on Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram stories.
I also research and write a small caregiving tip every Tuesday for the organization's social media channels. Sometimes individuals will send a tip to the organization and I will post their tip in place of one I have researched. I use InDesign to design and create the content and then post the image on Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn.
You can find the archive for these newsletters here.
I write newsletters and convert them into blog posts for Carriage Houses NW. I use MailChimp to write and send the newsletters and then promote them on Facebook and Instagram.
I also create content for social media channels: Facebook and Instagram.
