Professional Experience

I am a freelance copywriter with a penchant for great books and bad TV. My two biggest passions in life are writing and travel, and I am grateful to be able to combine both into a profession that I love. A storyteller at heart, with a Masters in Counseling and Psychology, I enjoy digging deep, getting to know people and businesses, and helping them tell their unique stories.
