Student Jobs

Kate Goodwin is a graduate of the University of Wisconsin–Madison School of Journalism who cut her teeth pitching men’s boxer briefs to hundreds of editors (yes, really). With nine years in PR and brand storytelling, she’s launched 50+ stores for a national retailer, garnered millions of media impressions, and said yes to just about every stunt imaginable in the name of content—lugeing, lumberjacking, and even a Lambeau Leap. These days, she lives in the rural Midwest, juggling a thriving vegetable garden, feral-but-happy kids, a grouchy guard dog, and a bourbon collection she’s always willing to share.

When she’s not wrangling plants or small humans, Kate runs @katewroteabook on Bookstagram, where she encourages moms to reconnect with their creative selves, recommends great reads, and brings humor and heart to the chaos of author life. 

Remote and flexible — around 5–7 hours per week with most work completed on your own time. I really need help with engagement... so, that's where the biggest lift is. Truly, it could be 30 minutes a day with 1-2 hours of brainstorming trends per week.

We'd meet in-person once a month for brainstorming, mentorship sessions, feedback + performance metrics, etc.
