I stand at the intersection of creative and corporate as: a collaborator, a strategist, a catalyst, a wordsmith, an innovator, a connector, an achiever, an exceeder, a conversation starter.
My experience in copywriting, content marketing/ strategy, storytelling, and brand voice is remarkably wide-ranging, spanning platforms, formats, mediums, audiences, and delivery methods. In everything I write, I seek astounding impact, exceptional quality, and maximum engagement. I am a master at shifting tones and honing in on the most effective voice for any campaign. I see the box and look outside it, marveling at the glittering possibilities that lie outside convention.
Come, step outside the box with me. Let's make something with sparks.
