MEET THE TEAM

ALPHILD REES

Content Manager

As an elder millennial, she loves the word “craft” and that’s exactly what she does at FocusWorks: helps clients craft their best voice through blogs, emails, social, and curated content. When she’s not writing, she’s editing and strategizing with Amanda.

And when she’s off the clock, she’s chasing her charmingly chaotic toddler around the house, baking along with the Great British Baking Show, or hiking in the mountains of the Pacific Northwest where she’s located.

Megan Morrissey

Content Strategist

Megan is an avid reader and writer who grew up in New Hampshire and worked for many years as a communications advisor in diplomatic and non-profit offices in Washington, New York, and Bangkok. In addition to her top-notch proofing and copyediting skills, she’s also a certified Spanish-English translator.

She and her family, which include two adorable sons, are located in North Carolina.

Shaunna Chadwick

Content Writer

Shaunna is rarely at a loss for words, because she once tried to read the Merriam-Webster dictionary… for fun.

She’s inspired by the sense of connection that content creates—for businesses, communities, and the world. And if you think she is passionate about the Oxford comma? Wait until you see how she feels about our clients’ success!

When Shaunna’s not writing for FocusWorks, she’s getting her boots muddy in the Blue Ridge, trying new cuisine with her husband, or snuggling up with a good book and her five year old son. She also loves to dance, travel, and shop at flea markets for quirky fashion and home goods.

MILA KASSAPIAN

Graphic Design Specialist

Mila is a lover of social media, the web, and magazines.

She always seeks to bring creativity and style, understanding that each client’s brand is unique and design is the window to convey a message to the audience.

When she is not designing, she loves visiting museums, doing yoga, connecting with nature, and meditating. She also enjoys being a foodie, food blogging, and cooking with her little daughter and her dog Schnauzer.

IRFAN AFRIDI

Web Development Specialist

Irfan loves web designing and development.

Irfan’s passion for web design and development started as an intern while attending school. He believes a positive user experience can help translate a better message to the audience. In addition, he likes to spend his spare time reading tech news and learning new technologies.
