About Fern
I was that kid who dreamed of being a writer … working in a newsroom with a pencil behind my ear.
After realizing that I did not want to go into war zones or chase fire engines to get the story, I found
myself in direct response … and loved it. And my clients will tell you I’m also extremely good at it.
We can talk in detail, but here’s my elevator speech on my bio.
Vassar grad with a solid liberal arts education
= I can comfortably write about virtually any cause.
Deep organization-side experience at WHYY, Fox Chase Cancer Center and other non-profits
= I know the pressures of being an annual giving or membership director … and write in a way that’s
effective, calms the nerves of people on the approval chain … and raises money.
Active in our industry
= I have lots of experience, but make it priority to push the boundaries of my own knowledge and training.
Award-winning writer
= 2017 Silver MAXI and 2017 Bronze NEDMA for San Diego Zoo Global's Rhino Conservation Campaign
2017 Silver NEDMA for San Diego Zoo Global's "Silently Disappearing" Giraffe Conservation Campaign
