A bit about me

I’m a senior writer for Semrush and content consultant for startups. I specialize in content that drives SEO growth, builds brand trust, and supports sales.

With background in marketing and a deep understanding of SEO and storytelling, I’ve helped brands like Semrush, Backlinko, and Planable create high-impact, long-form content. Today, I also consult startups on building scalable content strategies and how to use AI tools without losing human clarity or voice.

If you’re ready to scale your content with value, I’m here to help.

What people say about me

Testimonials

"I've seen Kate work on technical content in three different teams. She stood out to me in the first team because her work stood out. I can't remember any of the other several writers in that team. Then she became a top writer on my own team, and eventually a top writer on a team I referred her to. She combines quality work output with professionalism in communication and workflow, and she's a lovely human, too. It's hard to find that combination, so I hope to work with her again soon."
Branko KralGrowth Advisor in Content
"Kate is a very important part of Vipecloud's content maintenance system. After reviewing several other writers, we landed on Kate to help us update our content. Since then, she has delivered quality work. She is extremely attentive to on-page SEO demands and never fails to deliver. She is a consummate professional. Communication with her is easy and clear. I am very happy to have worked with her."
Evan WilliamsSenior SEO Manager
Kate has been a fantastic freelance writer to work with over the past three years. She consistently demonstrated exceptional professionalism and became one of our top content producers. Her reliability was outstanding—always meeting deadlines and delivering high-quality work. Kate's attention to detail and creative approach made her an invaluable team member. If you need a talented content writer who understands SEO and makes your life easier, I highly recommend Kate.
Oscar ArguelloProject Manager @ Semrush
Kate is a skilled writer who consistently delivered high-quality work during our collaboration at Backlinko. Her ability to research complex SEO and marketing topics and present them clearly made her a valuable contributor. Kate played a key role in our tool reviews, creating detailed guides that routinely rank well in search results. She excels at diving deep into software features, running tests, and surfacing the details that matter most to users. Kate is also incredibly reliable. She met deadlines, communicated proactively, and was always responsive to feedback. Her professional approach made her a breeze to work with. I'm confident Kate will be an asset to your project.
