HELLO THERE!

Hi, I'm JoAnn.  I am primarily a wife and mother of three living in the middle of the state of Missouri in Columbia.  I graduated from Truman State University with a BA in Communications, with a focus in design.  In 2012, I not only got married but also graduated with a Masters in Theological Studies from Quincy University.  I love to cook and bake - which is fortunate as my young kids are already eating me out of house and home!  I like to play board games with my family, binge listen to podcasts, and watch a little too much Netflix.  I love to travel and could spend all day on the beach, but only if I didn't end up looking like a lobster.  

​

Freelancing gives me the opportunity to achieve two goals - work independently on a variety of exciting projects, and help clients grow their partners in mission. My background is in Catholic Campus Ministry - both as a campus minister and as a fundraiser.  I love sharing the Good News happening in ministries - both on campus and in the greater Church!  In recent years, I have had the blessing of working with many Catholic nonprofits, including grade schools, high schools, dioceses, parishes, and regional ministries.  Whether you need a newsletter, appeal piece, annual report, or brochure, I can help!  Don't know where to start?  I can work with you to set up a communications plan to reach your benefactors.  Reach out today to see how we can work together to reach your goals!
