Hello! I’m Gina Stafford, an award-winning writer, editor and communication strategist. I have an eye for detail, a way with words and a passion for storytelling. I create content about people, research, initiatives and ideas that impact fields from learning and leadership to science and technology. I'm also a travel buff and an outdoor enthusiast who loves bringing stories of great experiences to be had on the trail, in the water and through the woods, year-round. 

You can review selected samples of my work on this site. 

I began my career as a print reporter for the Knoxville News-Sentinel and have continued to write professionally since transitioning into corporate communications, first in health care and then in higher ed. I have a bachelor's degree in English-Journalism from Tennessee Tech University and a master's degree in communication with a science concentration from the University of Tennessee. 

While I have broad-based experience as a professional communicator, I find the most gratifying work I do is always about taking a challenging topic--no matter how complex--and turning it into meaningful, accessible content for its intended audiences.
