My Story
Sometimes you follow your passions; sometimes they follow you. When I was 9 years old, I decided that I wanted to become a music teacher. The dream became all-consuming and blinding as I raced to the finish line. I graduated with my master’s degree and teaching license in just four years, but I felt off-target and unfulfilled. I started freelancing in 2013 to pay for my college tuition costs, but in reality, I was building a career and discovering my purpose.
Working from home has a lot of obvious perks, like working in my pajamas with a cat on my lap. Of course, freelance copywriting also leverages my best skills, passions, and personality traits! I’m a mega introvert, so it fills my cup to collaborate and connect with people around the world. This project-based workflow and self-determined schedule fit me perfectly. I hate procrastination and love organization, so I always deliver on time.
My distinct writing style and impeccable grammar are just the foundation. I love to dive head-first into projects, make new discoveries, and wrap my head around challenging creative concepts. Turning a simple brief and lists of facts into fully formed, engaging website content? It’s like magic!

My Favorite Things
Truffle Fries
If they’re on the menu, I’m there. Finding the world’s best truffle fries is a delicious challenge, and I happily accept the task.
Classical Music
I have a master’s degree in music, and although it’s not my career, it’s still my passion. I play the oboe and lead my own local chamber ensemble.
Portland, Oregon
Keep Portland weird? I call it character. The city is packed with so many of my favorite things (and more that didn't make this list).
My Husband
From middle school band to high school sweethearts and college newlyweds. He’s my best friend and biggest supporter.
Runner’s High
I’m not fast, but I’m determined! There’s nothing better than hitting a running milestone with my own two feet. Next up, full marathon!
Board Games
Strategy games are my jam and I love to win… yes, I’ll admit it! Our board game collection is growing faster than we can play them.
Smart Branding
Fresh ideas keep the world moving. Great customer service makes people feel supported. Smart branding ties it all together.

Neat, orderly, and always clear. I love to write in a way that feels authentic and conversational without any grammar hiccups.
