Copywriter

United States of America

In the second grade my mother came home with a Windows 98 desktop, that was the moment I fell in love with the internet. I'm a natural creative with a 'data beats opinion' mentality. Over the years, I've been fortunate to turn my natural talent of content regurgitation into a career that I'm insanely passionate about.

I have 4 years of experience in marketing along with 1 year in copywriting. I currently freelance for Elite Daily, xoJane, along with various publications. I am currently taking on new freelance projects.
