Welcome to the spot. Here you will find copy that I have written and edited for multiple platforms. I have dabbled in the transforming world of fashion for Papercity Magazine, curated listicles for Heartland consumers for Wide Open Media, wrote in awe of musicians I love for Austin's MUD Magazine and have spent the past two and a half years as a Copywriter at Wpromote, an LA-based agency. Before moving to Wpromote's Marketing team, I focused my efforts on producing content for clients such as Marriott, SHEEX®, Vacations by Marriott, Capital Senior Living, Greystar®, Windsor, Pelican Water Systems, Ember, YMT Vacations, Baby Brezza, Enviroscent, Klipsch®, and many more. I have also had work published on HelloGiggles and Marriott Traveler. Now, my daily operatives include copywriting and copyediting emails, press releases, white papers, case studies, social posts, newsletters, and event-based branding. I also manage the formatting and editing of the blog through WordPress. When I am not putting pen to (digital) paper for Wpromote, I am running Social Media for DTLA's newest restaurant (@VDTLA) and freelancing for FabFitFun Magazine.
