About Teri Conklin

Hi! I’m a strategic and creative communications professional with 15+ years of experience spanning nonprofit, agency, and corporate environments. I thrive at the intersection of storytelling, community connection, and mission-driven strategy — and I believe in the power of thoughtful content to shift hearts, minds, and outcomes.Most recently, I served as Communications Director at Ophelia’s Place, a nonprofit supporting the social and emotional health of girls ages 10–18. I led our multi-channel strategy across print, digital, email, and more to cultivate a community of followers and supporters who wanted to help empower girls.Whether I’m managing a website redesign, mentoring a teammate, or crafting an email appeal that actually gets opened, I lead with empathy, data, and curiosity. I love helping organizations find their voice, grow their impact, and connect with the communities they care about.I’m currently open to new opportunities in communications, marketing, and mission-driven storytelling. Let’s connect!
