    I began my writing career in comedy and satire, but eventually changed focus to relationship and lifestyle content, which has been published at Cosmopolitan, Men's Health, and PopSugar. From there, I joined Static Media, where I worked as a feature writer for House Digest, a site dedicated to home improvement tips and real estate news. I also created content for its sister brand, Glam, which focuses on relationship advice, fashion and beauty trends, and health and wellness tips. Additionally, I am a narrative writer for the video game company, Rice Games. My work is creative, unique, and most importantly, original. I believe in strong communication between myself and my client, as to assure their vision is brought to life. I am detail-oriented, have excellent time management skills and an extensive knowledge of AP style and creating web content, with an emphasis on social media.. With my collaborative skills, and my strong work ethic, I know I would make an excellent choice in helping your idea come to life.

    Hello and welcome to my profile! I am a freelance writer and editor, with most of my experience being in website copy, magazine articles, short stories, books, news stories, in-store marketing and product copy. I have worked at advertising agencies for over five years as both a copywriter and editor, with a lot of my time dedicated to writing and editing product copy for Target, but I'm so thrilled to have the opportunity to grow my own business. I have worked with AP style and Chicago style most extensively, but I have also created and followed specific brand voice guidelines for each client that I've worked with. In my free time, I love to go to movies, read books, write for my own personal projects (not surprising for a writer and editor I suppose), watch reality shows and explore different coffee shops around town. I'm so glad that you found my profile, and I'm excited to be able to help you take on your projects with confidence!
