Hello!


I'm Nakiska :)


(Pronounced nuh-kiss-kuh.)


I'm an East Coast native now calling West Virginia home, usually surrounded by my dogs, a stack of books, and at least one camera. I've always loved stories—whether they're told through a novel, a photograph, or a brand's voice—and helping people bring those stories to life has become one of my favorite things to do.


I have a Master's degree in Mass Communication from the University of Florida and have spent years working on everything from published books and website copy to social media, photography, branding, and public relations. If it involves creative communication, there's a good chance I've dabbled in it (or become completely obsessed with it).


Reflection Harbor is my little corner of the internet where all of those passions come together. Whether you need a manuscript polished, fresh content for your business, photos that actually feel like you, a PR strategy, or an extra set of hands behind the scenes, I'm here to help.


Thanks for stopping by—I can't wait to connect with you!

QUICK FACTS!

What are my favorite reading tropes?

I'm a sucker for enemies to lovers, even better if there is a love triangle. Even better than that is if within that love triangle is an enemy who gets their redemption arc at some point. I love a good forbidden love, a duel POV, a fated mate/lover, or the ultimate emotional killer, the — death of the beloved side character.

As much and as many times as I will read the billionaire/CEO/royal leader falling for/saving/being the enemy of the peasant person, I do love a book that breaks all tropes and really shocks the system!

What am i currently reading?

Other than your manuscript (hopefully)?

My current read is: Leather and Lark by Brynne Weaver

what do i do when i'm reading/editing?

I settle in with my Airpods, a lovely "raging blizzard" white noise soundtrack, and get to it! Usually, one of my three dogs joins me and will offer their opinion.

ARE YOU EVEN QUALIFIED TO DO THIS?

Yesssss! My unique background and extensive education provide a skill set that sets me apart from other multimedia providers. I have training in copywriting and editing, have worked for years in the marketing world, have been doing photography for 10+ years, and am a certified and experienced TESOL instructor. I am always continuing my education, and with each project I feel like I learn something new.
