Catherine Nowocien
Freelance Copywriter

I'm an experienced writer with a solid background in marketing, sales and PR copywriting, and corporate communications. For more than 7 years, I've consistently crafted clear, results-driven copy for clients in industries ranging from call centers and commercial collections to alternative energy development, university-level programs, and instrument calibration.

Writing has always been a strong suit for me. Before launching Words that Work, I sharpened my copywriting and corporate communication skills while serving as marketing administrator for an international receivables management firm. I then expanded the scope of my writing experience as senior copywriter for a marketing communications company. In addition to marketing and corporate communications, my background includes insurance services management, elementary education, and international social services and outreach administration.

As an avid reader and life-long learner, I have the ability to grasp new areas of knowledge quickly. That, together with a lively curiosity, natural gift for language and bent toward organization, has contributed to my success in meeting clients' expectations while thriving on the variety and challenges of freelance copywriting.

My formal education includes a BA in Business Administration from Ohio Dominican College in Columbus, Ohio and a Masters in Education from the State University of New York at Buffalo.
