Meet Our Team
We have experts in fields spanning every aspect of nonprofit operations.
Kirsten
Kirsten started Ghost Writer with a belief that all nonprofits deserve big support. After more than 20 years working inside organizations, she built a model that delivers high-impact development, marketing, and infrastructure support without the cost of hiring in-house.
She has helped clients across sectors raise millions in funding, and under her leadership, Ghost Writer has grown to three departments, 13 team members, and clients spanning from local communities to global initiatives in Mozambique.
She leads with strategy, clarity, and a deep commitment to helping missions thrive.
Diane
Diane helps organizations get clear on what matters — and build the systems, strategies, and communication to support it. With more than 25 years of experience across the nonprofit, higher education, and private sectors, she brings a sharp eye for structure and a belief that effective organizations are built through clarity, trust, and shared responsibility.
At Ghost Writer, she leads strategic consulting and organizational communications — facilitating planning retreats, developing board tools, refining internal documents, and helping teams build the alignment that makes mission-driven work sustainable.
Abby
Abby understands how to turn a mission into a message — and get it in front of the right people. With more than a decade of nonprofit experience, she leads Ghost Writer’s Marketing Division and serves as Director of Community Engagement. She oversees strategy and execution for both internal initiatives and partner organizations, delivering digital and print materials that elevate visibility and voice.
With a background in communications, Abby blends smart messaging, clean design, and strategic use of donor databases and digital tools to make nonprofits more visible — and more effective — in the communities they serve.
Amy
Amy is a relationship-driven community development leader with over 15 years of experience working at the intersection of tourism, cultural affairs, nonprofit advocacy, government relations, and creative placemaking. Her work has been featured in regional and national media, and she has supported initiatives that strengthen local economies, honor local history, and bring people together around a shared sense of place. Amy brings a thoughtful, collaborative approach grounded in listening, partnership, and care for the communities she serves.
Jessica
Jessica has over a decade of experience in communications, project management, and creative writing. She has taught ESOL and Spanish, managed online education programs, launched a non-profit's Spanish certification, led a university's national cyber defense designation, and overseen successful marketing campaigns. A published author and singer-songwriter, she enjoys spending time with her Australian Shepherd, Rosie, creating music, exploring nature, and sharing meals with loved ones. Jessica feels honored to work with Ghost Writer and its world-changing clients.
Christiana
Christiana loves exploring the communicative power of grammar and language. Since graduating from Messiah University, she brings that love to her career as a freelance editor. She’s worked at all tiers of editing from developmental to proofreading. She is excited to use her gifts with Ghost Writer to improve the community and the world around us. When she’s not editing or writing, she can be found getting lost in a good book or song or volunteering with the senior high youth group at her church.
Rebecca
Rebecca is a seasoned writing specialist with nearly 20 years of experience in writing and editing for mission-driven organizations. At Ghost Writer LLC, she focuses on grant writing, copywriting, and client communications. Certified in multiple writing disciplines, she brings both strategy and heart to her work. A former therapist and nonprofit founder, Rebecca’s empathy and insight strengthen her storytelling, helping clients secure funding and connect with their audiences in meaningful, impactful ways.

Outside of work she enjoys gardening and spending time with her husband.
