Kathleen Mahoney

I always thought I’d be a novelist but instead found my niche in business writing. I have a special love for employee communications. It’s fascinating to dig into people’s stories — especially people with unique backgrounds, experiences, skills, and passions. I enjoy the conversation of an interview and going deep to find the humanness, the emotion, the heart of the topic. The challenge of turning that conversation into a compelling story is most rewarding.
