Who the heck am I?

I’m a new mom who left the full-time workforce to spend my days listening for airplanes, going up and down the stairs, making meals that will (without a doubt) be thrown on the floor or handed directly to the dogs, and turning light switches on and off at the command of a very small, very cute, and very persuasive dictator that I birthed myself.

Still, the writer and researcher in me lives (and she comes alive at nap time). I get my kicks from thinking up and designing ads and headlines for big brands who’ve never heard of me, creating religious dog art (like this), reading allllll the books, releasing albums, working crossword puzzles, and watching Jeopardy (if Ken is hosting).

I have an endlessly curious mind, which is why my bookshelf is filled with books on everything from advertising and writing to comb jellies, string theory, magic, fashion, history, behavioral economics, and enlightenment. I’d like to think that my curiosity helps me make better connections in my writing and produce better work. But I’ll admit: it does make it hard to pick just one book when going on vacay.

But does she have any professional experience? You betcha. I’m no novice when it comes to:

WordPress, Word, SEO Best Practices, Content Optimization, Creative Writing, Canva, Grammar, Editing, AP Style, Research, Conversion Copywriting, Advanced Branding & Message Development, MarketMuse, Balsamiq Wireframing, Keyword Research, Show Notes, Social & Ad Copy, Product Descriptions, Storytelling, Inbound Marketing, Microsoft Office, Web Content Management, Email Marketing

Am I missing something? Not to worry. I’m an eager and quick learner - so whatever you need me to learn, I will.

I’ve got the skills to pay your bills.

Including Canva skills. That white brick wall? Not really there.
