The Power of Voice
Leave Your Legacy

Everyone has a story to tell. Everyone deserves a voice. Only sometimes words are elusive or passive. A compelling history requires fact gathering, organizing, familiarizing, and taking a fresh look with outside eyes to weave people and events into a vibrant tapestry.

That’s why you need Kathleen O'Connor, a communications professional and story teller. A compelling writer, she crafts histories for families, businesses, family foundations or nonprofits wishing to give witness and vitality to their accomplishments.

Kathleen has been writing since childhood. Her first article was published in The Washington Post when she was 13. Her last op-ed in The Washington Post was in February 2009. She has authored two books, several monographs, numerous articles locally and nationally and served as a guest columnist for The Seattle Times for four years. She is also a published poet and sees words like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle. She recently completed a family history of her line of the O’Connor Family.

If you want your story told and remembered, talk with Kathleen.
