About Anna Schardt Baker:

 

Hi, I’m Anna.

 

While I always have a magazine, book or Kindle in hand, my love of words extends well beyond prolific reading and writing. As a communicator and storyteller I’m fascinated by how information is organized, presented and consumed. I’m also a “nonprofit girl” at heart, one who feels most at home when working for a great cause.

 

After I earned my B.A. in Professional Writing from Carnegie Mellon University (ask me about the great city of Pittsburgh!), I enjoyed a four-year stint in educational publishing before transitioning to nonprofit marketing communications. Over the next decade I held a progressive series of leadership roles that focused on digital engagement, strategic communications and storytelling.

 

In 2017 I took a big, deep breath and leapt into independent consulting. I founded Three Story Strategies, and today I serve a variety of clients in the nonprofit, association and agency spaces. While much of my experience is in the realms of public health and patient education, I love to apply my experience to new topics and industries.

 

I live just miles from our nation’s capital in Arlington, Virginia, with my darling husband, three energetic children and two overly affectionate cats. But one of the best parts about my work is that it can take me anywhere.

 

When you hire Three Story Strategies, you get the big-picture vision of an experienced strategist combined with the attention to detail you’d expect from a professional writer and editor. I pride myself on high standards, rigorous project management, devotion to deadlines and love of style guides. Whether it’s through a case study, annual report or blog series — let’s tell your organization’s story, together!
