Hey there! I'm Shari – a storyteller at heart who happens to be really good at copywriting. Recent Pepperdine grad with 3+ years turning complex corporate messaging into conversations that actually matter. From my roots in LA's Watts projects to writing for Fortune 500 companies, I bring authentic perspective to every piece I create.
I've published 40+ articles, case studies, and marketing materials for Cornerstone OnDemand, Her Agenda, Education Week, and beyond. Whether it's a CEO's thought leadership piece or an internal campaign that drove 40% engagement growth, I write content that connects with real people and drives real results. Because at the end of the day, business is just people talking to people – and I'm here to make those conversations count.
My Story: From growing up in LA's Watts projects to writing for Fortune 500 companies – I've learned that great copywriting isn't about fancy words, it's about understanding people. My unique background combining social work (USC MSW), dispute resolution (Pepperdine MDR), and hands-on copywriting gives me a superpower: I can write for anyone, anywhere, at any level of an organization.
What I Bring: I don't just write copy – I build bridges between leadership vision and employee action. Whether it's a mental health campaign that increased engagement by 40% or a thought leadership piece on Black excellence that drives organic traffic, I create content that connects hearts and minds while delivering business results. I've spent 3+ years learning how to communicate with diverse, distributed workforces – from C-suite executives to frontline associates, understanding that every person matters and every communication should serve people first.

Behind-the-scenes look at campaigns that moved the needle for real organizations
The Situation: During the pandemic, our internal communications platform engagement had plateaued. Employees were viewing company updates as "nice to have" rather than "need to read." We needed content that would genuinely connect with employees' daily experiences while addressing the mental health crisis everyone was experiencing but nobody was talking about.
My Strategy: Instead of another "wellness initiative," I created a mental health awareness campaign that shifted from corporate announcements to personal, relatable conversations. The core insight: people don't engage with policies, they engage with people who share their experiences.
"Shari transformed our internal communications from corporate announcements to genuine conversations. The mental health campaign she created didn't just increase engagement—it changed how our employees connect with each other and with leadership. The content felt authentic and actionable, which is exactly what our people needed during a really tough time."
The Challenge: Monthly company newsletter was getting lost in employees' inboxes. Open rates were below industry average at 12%, and feedback indicated the content felt too corporate and irrelevant to daily work life. We needed to create content that employees would actively look forward to reading.
My Transformation Strategy: Complete content reimagination focusing on employee-driven storytelling, mobile-first design, and conversational tone that respected people's time and intelligence.
"Shari took our newsletter from something employees deleted without reading to content they'd actually discuss in team meetings. Her ability to translate corporate messaging into human stories while maintaining brand standards is exceptional. The engagement metrics speak for themselves, but more importantly, our people feel more connected to the company."
