4 Years Experience

Professional Experience

I’ve fostered an intimate relationship with tight deadlines and SEO demands on topics from confidence through menswear to the importance of asking, “How was your day?” on a first date. I effectively juggle writing and web trends to engage a variety of readers - like diving into said date’s Instagram, then Tetris-ing your shared love of Spanish Alt-Rock into the conversation. I credit an enthusiasm for candid narratives and expansive role at a start-up with my diverse range of published stories.
