COPYWRITER • CREATIVE • STORYTELLER • COACH
Let me put it into words.
My love of writing began around the tender age of 10 when I penned the novel Chester the Cat in a 5x7” notebook in my bedroom. Needless to say, it was lauded as a future bestseller among immediate family members.
In high school, I rose the ranks of the yearbook staff to become editor-in-chief. In college, I interned for a big name ad shop and earned a junior copywriter position three weeks before graduation.
I’ve been distilling complex tech concepts since before the dot com bust. I've devised results-driven creative and copy for both B2B and B2C brands, helping launch new products and features, nurture leads, and win back lapsed customers. But my greatest strength is my attitude. I go into every project with my sleeves rolled up, ready to support the team and solve problems fast, without ego.
When I’m not working, I grow vegetables, tend to a small flock of chickens, help my husband tackle home renovation projects, and occasionally coach frazzled clients on dating, relationships, and life burnout recovery.
