She also enjoys indulging in her passion for thrifting, cooking, and home decorating. Her life in Maine offers the perfect backdrop for all these joys, from the beauty of nature to the warmth of community.
Digital Marketing Copywriter
Rachel P.
Rachel is a talented writer with a variety of experience, including research, training material, sales copy, web copy, blogging, email campaigns, and more. Plus, she holds Search Marketing and E-commerce Marketing Specialist certifications from Digital Marketer. If you have an unusual tech issue, she’d love to use her nerd superpowers to help you solve it.
When she’s not immersed in the world of ecommerce or ghostwriting a blog, you’ll find Rachel embracing her inner flower child enjoying time in nature, experimenting in the kitchen with endless vegetarian recipes, or embroidering another hippie wall-hanging. If you can’t find her, she’s probably just temporarily lost in her closet packed full of fabulous 70s finds.

Her passion for finding the best deals on designer, limited edition, and novelty handbags is a testament to her keen eye for quality and value. Her constantly expanding collection is a reflection of her dedication to her interests.
When she isn’t working, Alexis loves to travel, spend quality time with her friends and family, and unwind on the couch with her two fur-children.
Digital Marketing Specialist

Kate’s varied work history provides her with a unique perspective that allows her to easily adapt to a client’s particular wants and needs. Much of her experience has been with blog writing, social media content creation, event marketing, digital design, and administrative tasks. She enjoys the blend between the creative outlet of writing and designing and the more structured organizational side of things. #ListsAreLife
Kate balances work and daily life as a stay-at-home mom to her two young children. You never know if you’ll find her baking cookies with her kids, plugging away at her laptop during naptime, or working on a homeschool lesson with her oldest.
In her spare time, Kate is happiest when reading, running, snowboarding, hiking, or just being in nature with her family and their wild pup Otto.
