About Me
In third grade, I submitted a story for a statewide competition...and won. It was the first time I realized writing is my creative outlet. Fast forward a few years, and now my diverse career is rooted in storytelling and problem solving with words.
I began my professional journey as a fashion historian. Working with brands and museums developed my deep understanding of language, brand identity, and strengthened my editing skills. Developing experiences has lent itself to vital insights into consumer behavior, illustrating data reports in real life. Blending all this with my work ethic and devotion to company culture make me a strong asset to your team.
As a copywriter, I've learned the art of making data-informed decisions, and making the right edits to evoke a brand's voice. My creativity is grounded in thoughtfulness, taste, and research. Flexible, detail-oriented, and adaptive, I work closely with others to bring stories to life. Using art, community, and joy, I elevate moments, always looking for ways to build upon them for the better.
​
Additionally, the following are some ways I've overheard others* describe me: hard worker; social butterfly; remarkably enthusiastic; passionate learner; problem solver; detail-oriented; collaborative partner; awful singer; total badass.
*The term "others" does indeed include my very biased mother.
Fun Facts
I SCREAM, YOU SCREAM
WE ALL SCREAM FOR ICE CREAM!

MEET RICOTTA, MY SWEET LIL' LAND CLOUD
Ricotta, or Rico for short, is my silly, floofy, 8-year-old-ish rescue. He's truly the best emotional support with his calm demeanor and big heart. His favorite things include laying on a heap of toys, frolicking at the beach, greeting people, and alllll the treats.
