Hi, I'm Reed ⸻
Good work is equal parts clarity and storytelling. I've built my career at that intersection.
In my current role at Strategic Kids, a national youth enrichment and school staffing organization, I write competitive RFPs for K–12 school districts, build internal tools, and own communications across the board, serving as both the sole marketer and a contributing business development professional. The work lives at the intersection of many disciplines, and it shapes how I approach every challenge.

A little more about me ⸻
A little more about me ⸻
I’m a proposal and marketing professional based in San Francisco, originally from Orange County. I studied Literary Journalism at UC Irvine, where reporting, interviewing, and several years at the campus radio station taught me how to find and tell a story regardless of the subject.
​
That same instinct shapes my work today. Whether I’m leading a competitive proposal, redesigning a website, or building tools to simplify an internal process, I’m usually doing the same thing: bringing structure to complexity and turning scattered information into something clear and persuasive.
​
Outside of work, I’m happiest exploring a new country, backpacking across a California trail, catching a concert, cooking for friends, or tending to an increasingly ambitious collection of plants (30 and counting!).
​
I’m always interested in meeting people who care about thoughtful communication, better systems, and work that makes a tangible difference. If that sounds like your team, I’d love to hear from you.
