I can help with finding your niche, creating networks and refining pitches.

Jessica can mentor on freelance/independent journalism careers, communications strategy, how to have a career that honors the stories that you want to tell, relationship building with editors and publications, how to be an ethical journalist while prioritizing narratives/stories that make the world a better place, and how to have a dual career in journalism and comms.

I can coach on how to build contacts in the community and how to find great, local stories.
