Thanks for stopping by. Following is a small glimpse of content I’ve created for clients, employers, and a few passion projects like my self-published novel, Next Left.
If you like a sassy rom-com, click to read an excerpt from Next Left.
While I’m proud to have these concrete pieces of work to link to, they don’t illuminate other important skills like marketing management acumen, multi-tasking abilities, copy editing skills, a fun/lighthearted attitude, and more. If you think I might be a good fit for a project, let’s chat.
