Hi, I'm Danna! 

I'm a Boston-based freelance higher education writer and journalist with a dozen years of experience to offer. If you’ve got a demanding feature, important donor interview, time-consuming admissions campaign, or a complex faculty research paper that needs decoding and amplifying, I am here to help. In fact, I’d love to partner with your team or publication any time you need an extra hand with projects! 

I have interviewed more than 1,000 students, alumni, faculty, administrators, and thought leaders in the higher ed space. My clients include Harvard University, MIT, Wellesley College, Tufts University, Hofstra University, Endicott College, University of Notre Dame Mendoza College of Business, Brandeis University, Boston Architectural College, North Bennet Street School, and Wentworth. 

As a journalist, I’ve had bylines in The New York Times, The Atlantic, and The Washington Post. Prior to launching my writing career, I managed nonprofits in the Middle East and Africa.

You can reach out to me at: danna@dannalorch.com. I'm excited to help tell your story.
