Make + Curate
ABOUT ME
Hi! Just call me Sara (Ennis for thrillers, Isabelle for cozies, and Henderson for everything else).
​
I'm a storyteller with a knack for turning ideas into impactful content. I've worn many hats in my career – from corporate marketer to startup CEO to novelist – but one of my favorite ways to spend a day (or two, or ten) is to help small businesses and nonprofits like yours shine.
As a recovering CEO and a past and current board member for various nonprofits, I understand the unique challenges that come with these jobs. I bring insider knowledge, coupled with my business savvy, to every project.
Think of me as your word wizard and strategy guru rolled into one. I love diving into the heart of what makes an organization special and crafting messages that resonate with your audience. Whether it's website copy that pops, social media that engages, or marketing strategies that drive results, I've got you.
When I'm not helping clients tell their stories, you might find me scribbling away at my next novel or traveling.
