How We Began
I created Raconteur Freelance, LLC to accomplish a lifelong goal: to become a magazine editor who creates quality stories with big impact. Growing up, I was always filling notebooks with half-finished stories, ideas and dreams. When I finally got to the point where I needed to make a decision on my career, I found myself drawn to journalism. I graduated from Northwest Missouri State University with a Bachelor's Degree in Science, majoring in multimedia journalism.
Landing my first job in Greek Life was foreign to me as someone who was not part of the Greek Community on campus. I was the full-time Communications Manager for Alpha Gamma Rho Fraternity, a now long-term client. I left AGR in pursuit of the next step in my career, but I always stayed in touch. I was later asked if I wouldn't mind freelancing to manage their magazine and monthly e-newsletter, setting me on the path I am on now with three long-term clients and various writing freelance gigs when I am not building out publications.
I have built my business by putting my clients first. Focusing on their goals, visions and purposes has allowed me to create magazines that truly reflect who they are as an organization while keeping members engaged. I believe in getting to know not just the organization, but the membership through the stories they share with me. Each interview I do gives me a deeper insight to the impact that my clients have on their members, something I use to improve each publication I work on. Loving what I do ignites my passion to provide stories that resonate. Join me, so we can share your stories.
