Senior Copywriter & Brand Strategist
Story
As an experienced marketer, I have created strategic brand identities in technology and education. I'm a copywriter with a penchant for project management, who creates thoughtful content for every stage of the marketing funnel for B2B brands. I like short sentences, excellent verbs, and the Oxford comma.
