MEET THE GIRL WHO WROTE A RESEARCH REPORT FOR FUN WHEN SHE WAS TEN.
When someone asks me how I became a copywriter, I usually give them this whirlwind of a story. But to keep things simple, I’ve always been a writer. And I really did write a research report on the one dollar bill when I was ten years old (I was inspired by Nicholas Cage’s stellar performance in National Treasure, naturally). I guess I’ve just always loved putting words on a page, organizing them to tell a story.
And that comes to life in a whole bunch of different forms. Songs. Haikus. Emails. Web copy.
For me, copywriting means distilling messaging down to one main point—the gem that will allow a brand to connect with audiences on a deeper level, in a way they can understand. So if you’re into that, take a look at some of my past work. It’s pretty cool.
THERE’S MORE TO THE STORY.
-
COPYWRITER
I’ve written for hair salons, wedding venues, real estate lenders, educational nonprofits, and even Adobe (well, mostly Adobe).
-
LEARNER
I’m always educating myself on not only how to enhance my skills as a copywriter, but how to craft my skills as a creative. Right now, I’m taking a Google UX course.

CREATIVE
The magazine club I started in college—as well as my first job—gave me the opportunity to use my eye for design. I’m familiar with Figma, Adobe XD, and InDesign.
