Hello! I’m Steph and I’m a Toronto-based freelance writer, content writer, and copywriter. From articles to website copy to blogs, if you want someone who can create authentic and engaging content, you’ve found your writer.
about me
who am i?
I’m a freelance writer based in Toronto (O Canada!) with a passion for telling stories—yours and mine.
As a content marketing writer and copywriter, I write for businesses (B2B and B2C) and entrepreneurs that are looking for sharp, compelling, relatable copy. If you need a website copy refresh, or an SEO-friendly blog post, or anything else that involves stringing words and thoughts together to create a story that captivates your reader—I’ve got you covered.
I also write news articles and essays about parenting, health, and personal reflections from my life. My work appears in ELLE Canada, Yahoo Canada, Today’s Parent, The Lily/Washington Post, Insider, and other publications.
Prior to jumping into the full-time freelance life, I worked in various marketing and communications roles where I got the chance to flex my writing skills while producing analytical research reports, e-newsletters, social media captions, and more.
After moving on from my acclaimed blog where I documented my experience with cancer, I created my newsletter on Substack called Thank You for Sharing (P.S. please subscribe!). I’ve been told by many that I express things in a way that makes readers feel like I’m “inside their brains” and I can’t think of a bigger compliment.
When not working or wrangling two rambunctious young boys, you can find me hanging out with my husband, binge-watching the same TV show you’re probably watching right now, and enjoying large amounts of sushi. I feel extremely privileged to spend my time doing what I love to do, and—hopefully—making a difference through the words I put down on the page.
