Sara Capozzi

Communications Specialist and Writer

United States

With more than a decade of experience writing for a variety of mediums, including newspapers, trade journals, marketing materials and web copy, I adapt to any writing style or topic quickly. My work in journalism, corporate communications and nonprofit organizations has given me the chance to write everything from articles on police news to in-depth features. I’ve crafted press releases to publicize both nonprofit fundraising events, the results of complex medical studies and many topics in between. I'm comfortable writing about just about any topic, with specific experience in health care, insurance, education, local government and the hospitality industry. I excel at taking complex information, breaking it down and creating engaging and accessible content.

Specialties:

- News and feature articles
- Proofreading and editing
- Marketing collateral
- Email marketing/newsletters
- Website content creation
- Press releases
