Copywriter, Freelance Writer

United States

In the spaces between motherhood and my primary career, I'm an adventure travel writer and all-around storyteller; a purpose-driven business writer; and a commercial script writer (copywriter).

My content writing skills are backed by SEO and GA4 proficiency, so if you're looking for digital content that converts, you've come to the right place.

I've included ten pieces, some of which include videos that I scripted and produced. Feel free to email me with questions or inquiries at [email protected].

Thanks so much for taking a look!
