Bio Written for Actor's Profile Page

I wrote this biography for Ryan Kelly, a talented Los Angeles-based actor. This bio was written to appear on his Ryan J. Kelly IMDb actor's page. We wanted to highlight the fact that he is a triple threat with his acting, singing and dancing abilities and named a few of his idols to show where his earlier influences came from especially Gene Kelly.

 

Bio for Creative Professional to showcase depth of experience

I wrote this bio for a client, Sandra Marshall, who needed a biography that she could post on a website that featured various artists. She wanted to emphasize the depth of her experience in art and communicate how art has been a lifelong passion of hers.


                                                               

 

 

Inspired by a love of nature and extensive travels to Europe, especially Italy, Arizona artist Sandra Marshall draws from a plethora of stored mental images she has captured over the years. Most recently, Sandra focuses on contemporary botanical paintings –creating sought-after works of art that offer unique color combinations that are exquisitely rich and harmonious.

Early on, Sandra showed a talent and love of color and art and always drew or painted -- receiving accolades from teachers and others who saw her work. After studying color in a private art institute, she became accomplished in a variety of media including oils, pastels, acrylic and mixed media and later earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Education with an emphasis in Art Education/Painting. A New York native, Sandra is a master colorist and attributes her passion to childhood memories of her mom, an accomplished photographer and gardener, who Sandra remembers planting seeds in the cold of the winter and the delight they received as they bloomed in the spring.

Sandra’s art background is extensive and includes owning a portrait painting company in which she painted more than 1000 commissions in oils and pastels, as well as becoming a prominent mural artist around the country. She also worked as an art director for 3-Ball Productions in Hollywood in addition to painting backdrops for the Disney Channel and working on set designs. Before marrying and starting a family back in the states, Sandra studied art in Italy, which led to co-creating an inventive company in Italy called “Porta a Porta”, which means door to door in Italian.  Sandra would bring aspiring artists from the United States and fly them to Italy and while under her instruction, the students would learn to paint as they were surrounded by the stunning Tuscan Hillsides.

Sandra has used her combination of color mastery, painting and teaching skills to design a career that has been immensely satisfying for both herself and her clients. In addition to her works of art that she continues to push the boundaries of color and beauty, Sandra volunteers in schools with her successful “I Draw, You Draw program.  Says Sandra,” My mind is constantly coming up new designs and ideas of things to paint and I enjoy sharing that enthusiasm with my students. The excitement of each new painting is like taking a voyage to an unknown place –the anticipation, exploration and the journey --- I can’t get enough!

 

Bio written for South Orange County Realtor

                                                                

When Realtor Mona Ramstead's hired me to write her biography, I focused on her nurturing qualities and family background and history in real estate to tell her story. Mona uses this bio as part of a networking piece that helps others to get to know her beyond the typical "elevator pitch". She now gives out a sheet that has current trends in real estate on one side and her biography on the other and it has helped her to gain more exposure and get more clients..

 

Meet Mona—the Realtor Who Provides Service with Heart

 In 2012, when Realtor Mona Ramstead’s son was about a year away from graduating high school, she decided to go back into the workforce after being a stay at home mom.  When it came to choosing a career path, she knew real estate was the career for her. After all, she had worked in property management years ago and always loved going to open houses and checking out new properties

“My mom worked as a realtor and other family members have been in the real estate industry for years so it’s basically in my blood,” Mona shared.  

While Mona enjoys all aspects of working as a realtor, the part of the job she resonates with the most is the building of relationships and working one on one with clients to help them make their dreams come true. 

“I love that moment when my clients decide on a house and you can see the excitement in their eyes,” Mona said. “I become emotionally invested with each and every client and I understand what they are going through and live it with them. I enjoy building a friendship and actually feel a bit sad after the transaction ends.”

It is that kind of passion and caring nature that sets Mona apart from other realtors—she provides service with heart and that comes from an authentic place. She is passionate about being nurturing and responsive to her clients. They know that she will truly listen to them and go above and beyond to get their transaction done. Mona is flexible with her time and can work around busy clients’ work and family schedules.

All this and more makes her a natural fit for first-time buyers or experienced clients who want a realtor who will make their real estate sale or purchase as pleasant as possible.

Mona also brings to the table innovative marketing strategies and excellent negotiation skills. This combination of expertise and outstanding service is why Mona believes her clients will continue to choose her when they buy and sell homes over the years. Mona is committed to her clients as she is to her family—she’s been married nearly 25 years and has five children, a granddaughter and a grandson on the way.

Mona is a realtor with the Keller Williams Realty and a team member of the Nikki Patnoe Group. If you are in the market to buy or sell a home, consider giving this caring realtor a call. You can reach Mona at (949) 632-089 or via e-mail at realtormona@hotmail.com. You can also visit her web site at www.monaramstead.com.

About Page and Mission Statement for Wellness Client

I was hired to freshen up a few website pages for Cassandra Lauduski, a Newport Beach-based Holistic Health Coach and Owner of Kasih Body and Soul. I wrote her About page and we worked on a Mission Statement together. For her marketing angle, we highlighted her many world travels for being a woman in her mid 20s and how she applies it to her work of helping women to be healthier and more peaceful. Here is the result:

ABOUT KASIH BODY AND SOUL

Imagine a safe place where you can feel comfortable discussing your personal challenges and delve deep into what is blocking you from reaching your true potential. Whether it’s reducing stress, losing weight, eating healthier or raising your overall passion for life, I can help you find your way to living a beautiful and energetic life full of health and happiness.

My name is Cassandra and I’m a Holistic Health Coach and Motivational Speaker. Unlike other programs that tackle one specific area such as losing weight or starting a workout program, I step back and look at you and your life as whole. I partner with you to create a personalized program that focuses and balances the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of your life so you aren’t just reaching one goal—you are transforming your life from the inside out.

My Background

My personal mission is to search the world to discover what people are doing to reach their highest potential of health and happiness! When I say “search” the world I don’t mean the internet--I actually travel the world to learn from healers and teachers from exotic places like Bali and New Zealand.  My travels include working as a whole food cook at a health retreat in Australia, teaching yoga in Malaysia, living in ashrams studying yoga in India and living in Buddhist temples in Thailand. I have also learned from some of the best traditional healers here in America. These unique and life-changing experiences have only continued to feed my ongoing desire to increase my knowledge and wisdom to live a truly holistic lifestyle and share what I have learned with my clients.

I am a Certified Health Coach from the Institute for Integrative Nutrition and a Yoga and Meditation Teacher. I most recently have been focusing on helping reduce the stress and anxiety levels of my female clients through meditation, clean eating and gentle exercises.  To read more about my approach to health wellness and some of the concepts I teach, please click here.

My Coaching Style

I provide coaching by phone and in some cases in person. I also conduct regular wellness workshops for women not only in Southern California but around the world. My typical customer is a woman between the ages of 25-45 who wants to make some positive changes but is usually bogged down with life and feels overwhelmed with all the information available. Most likely she doesn’t know where to start. I can provide clarity to that person and give her the tools, support and inspiration she needs to finally meet her health and happiness goals. I hold her accountable in a loving way, which ultimately leads her to becoming the highest self she was meant to be. If that woman is you, I would love for us to get started!

Business Blog for Social Media Client

I write a weekly business blog for one of my current clients based in Arizona, The Savvy Socialista. The owner Jami Lindberg helps other business owners with their marketing by creating websites, blogs, branding elements and everything involving social media. Here is a sample blog I wrote for her website and I'm happy to see these blogs have been generating some new traffic and genuine business interest.


Simple Steps to Setting Up a Facebook Business Page

Whether you are looking for Facebook page developers like us who can create and set up an eye-catching Facebook page for your business or you plan to do it yourself, this blog post is for you!

                                                                       

Here are some informative tips we found on a blog by hubspot.com:
Think of how you want to classify your business. Facebook provides six different classifications to choose from: Local business or place, artist or public figure, company or organization, entertainment, brand or product, cause or community. You will also provide location information and name of your company, and you have custom tabs available to organize your information.

Choose a photo for your profile page. The dimensions need to be 180 x 180x and that photo will appear in the little profile box whenever you make a post or comment on another page’s post. You also need to choose a larger photo for your header page—the dimensions for this prominent image is 851 x 315--be sure to make it impactful! Last, you are able to have custom Facebook app buttons which help your brand stay cohesive. Again, all of this imagery can be custom created by our Savvy Team!

Understand the Admin Panel. This is where you can add others to your admin panel that can comment on the Facebook posts for you and basically manage it if you would like. That is also where you will put more details about you and your business in the about section—much like what you would put on your website about section. Be sure to include a link to your website.

Prepare before promoting. Before you start publicizing your new business Facebook page to everyone—make sure you already have content on it and have thought about what you will be posting in weeks to come. Think about ways you can engage those who click on your page—contests to run, questions to ask, engaging photos to post. Try to get your built-in fans—friends, family, close contacts—to sign up for your page so it looks like you already have things going on before others (who don’t know you or your business well) check it out.

Start posting. You can use your Facebook page for product announcements, industry statistics, quotes, photos—make sure it is worth making a post otherwise you will get “unliked” quickly if your readers see no value in being a Facebook fan. Try to keep in mind the 75/25 rule: 25% of the content should be about you, your brand, your products/services and 75% should be other relative content. A Facebook Business Page doesn't always have to be about your business.

Track Progress—Facebook has a monitoring tool in your View Insights section on your Administrative Panel that can help you see what fans are responding to and help you make adjustments to your messages and branding if needed.
For a video tutorial of what I just outlined, click here for a blog post that contains the video at Hubspot. For some suggestions on how to set up a Facebook page that will get a lot of “likes”, check out this article from Forbes.com.

Creating a Facebook Business Page doesn’t have to be scary and we have Facebook page developers who can help you with all aspects of your Facebook presence. We also can make any number of business graphics for you that you can post on your Facebook Business Page and other social media platforms like Pinterest and Instagram.

Bios for Matchmaking Realtor and Master Networker

Need a bio or profile written for business purposes? Check out the bios below I wrote for two clients who needed to showcase their personality, business background and networking capabilities.

PROFILE #1--Christian Acosta, a newly appointed board president, needed a bio for their website profile page

Known for her high energy, sparkly personality and warm demeanor, Christian Acosta of Ahwatukee, was recently named president of the Arizona Power Networking Ahwatukee Chapter. Her background and personality traits make her a natural to lead this local networking group.

A native Arizonan, Christian was born and raised in Tucson, AZ and earned her degree in International Business, Marketing and Management at the University of Arizona. Christian pursued a career in the banking industry –from investments to commercial, business and international banking. She currently works a Member Solutions Representative at the Desert Schools Federal Credit Union in Ahwatukee.

In addition to her business background, Christian also embraced her creative side by establishing a side business in 1997 called Dalica Designs (pronounced da leeka-- www.dalicadesigns.com). A designer since the age of 17, Christian’s design company offers items from custom jewelry to floral arrangements –both fresh and silk. She also applied her creative skills to a family business and worked as an event planner focusing on small and corporate gatherings, concerts, video productions, advertising and marketing.

Christian’s strengths are many but she is especially proud of her passion for cultivating new business relationships, networking and promoting small business owners through signature events she plans throughout the year. Last year alone, Christian hosted several successful designer open house events at local vendors in which hundreds of community members mingled and shopped for unique gifts by small business owners in a welcoming and lively setting. Bringing people together is what Christian does best and she is excited about the year ahead as president of her local Arizona Power Networking chapter.  

 

PROFILE #2 - Realtor Christine Benson needed a bio for her corporate real estate broker website profile page

Ask any client what it’s like to work with Sonoma realtor Christine Benson and similar words come to mind: trusted, caring, comfortable and knowledgeable.

A resident of Sonoma since 1999, this Northern California native has sold real estate for more than 25 years. “The beauty of the Sonoma Valley and its wonderful sense of community have made this the perfect home for my children and I and it is a pleasure to share this community with potential buyers and investors,” Christine shares. Whether they are buying or selling property for their own primary residence, vacation use, or investment purposes, Christine prides herself on being an excellent listener and truly understanding the needs and wants of her clientele. As a result, she provides her clients with all the information they need to feel comfortable making their important decisions. 

With a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration/ Real Estate Management from California State University at Hayward and a strong appreciation for architecture, design and home décor, selling real estate was an easy career choice for Christine. She is a current member of the National Association of REALTORS®, the California Association of REALTORS®, the North Bay Association of REALTORS®, and the Bay Area Real Estate Information Services, (BAREIS MLS). Christine also serves as co-president of the Sonoma Valley Women’s Club and is a member of the Italian Catholic Federation and the Sonoma Valley Jazz Society. 

A natural at networking, Christine not only connects her clients to their future homes/investment properties, buyers or local services, she has been known on occasion to connect people on a personal level.  “It’s always fun to introduce clients and contacts who I think would make a good match, Christine shares. “In fact, three couples I matched actually went on and got married”

In addition to a thriving real estate business and occasional matchmaking, this busy local realtor is a proud mom of three children (two in college and one in high school) and a small town dog named Chico. Her other interests include cooking, entertaining, attending music festivals, and organizing community events/ fundraisers for organizations such as St. Leo’s Youth Ministry.
