Honors Diploma: Leadership Studies

I’ve dreamed of writing professionally since the first grade – before that, I had my sights set on being a dinosaur. My obsession with the written word manifested in weird ways: sneaking books into steakhouses, improvving ghost tours on the playground, and getting demerits for reading ahead in class (riddle me that). I’m something beyond an “avid reader.” Maybe a chronic one.

Fortunately, the field of marketing has a job for people like me. I love copywriting because I get to translate a lot of broad, lofty concepts into actionable language. My specialty is snappy, memorable copy that makes people laugh. Or educates them, or makes them click a button, or whatever the client’s hoping to accomplish. It’s rewarding to see those conversions rack up.

While we’re on the subject… do you wanna, like, work together?
