Since graduating with a degree in public relations from the University of Mount Union in 2016, I have further developed the skills to create, write and promote on an array of subjects. I started out in the industry working full-time at PR Newswire, as a senior editor of press releases. Through this position, I was able to successfully zero in on my attention to detail, as well as my editorial, grammatical, and SEO skills. In addition, I also wrote for the online music publication, Beyond The Stage Magazine. I served as a senior contributing writer for over three years and had the opportunity to write on many topics - anything from artist feature pieces to album reviews. I then moved up to serve as the magazine's Managing Editor, where I managed written content for the bi-monthly issues. Currently, I am an SEO Content Specialist at the digital marketing agency, Silverback Strategies where I edit blogs in order to be more SEO-friendly. I utilize keywords and editorial SEO skills to enhance our client's work. I thoroughly enjoy writing and I am always looking to expand my knowledge by learning and writing about any new topics that may come my way. Feel free to take a look through my portfolio and see just what I am capable of. If you have questions about a specific project, feel free to shoot me a message! Thank you for your consideration.

"Oh, horrible vulturism of earth! From which not the mightiest whale is free." Herman Melville, Moby Dick Ever since I was a kid, I seemed destined to go into a communications career. I studied Washington Post reporters like other high schoolers studied baseball statistics, and this passion has stayed with me throughout my long, distinguished career in the U.S. Military. My comprehensive understanding of national media guides my communications strategies-from devising plans for U.S. cabinet officials and prominent military leaders that engage international audiences to managing relationships with top news organizations across print and broadcast media. I have even been recognized for my excellence in this field by senior military leaders. While traditional long-form journalism is essential to my career story, the arts have equally galvanized me to create positive, impactful messaging. I am a poet, fiction writer, and actor and these
