I'm a student at the University of Minnesota studying technical writing and communication. I am looking for experience in writing and editing material for small businesses.

I'm an incredibly passionate writer who really thrives on turning ideas into compelling, purposeful content that really shines. Radiates, even! I've dedicated years to studying linguistics, language, and literature to build a strong foundation that allows me to adapt to virtually any style or medium—from scriptwriting and blog writing to copywriting, storytelling, and beyond. No matter the project, my goal is always the same: to give your words clarity, structure, and impact. I always write with intention, crafting content that deeply resonates with its audience, communicates its message effectively, and accomplishes exactly what you mean it to do. I should also mention that I’m a deeply engaged student of popular culture, with an extensive and continually evolving knowledge of film, television, music, and art. I’ve spent years immersing myself in these mediums, constantly consuming and analyzing new work while maintaining a broad understanding of the cultural history behind it. At any given time, I’m likely watching several films, reading multiple books, and obsessively listening to whatever album has captured my attention that week. If you need someone plugged into the broader cultural landscape, look no further.

I'm a writer with a curious mind and a willingness to learn. My experience ranges from tutoring at-risk college students to writing content for a variety of small businesses as well as blogging about topics like disability. If you need help creating content, editing it, or help in learning how to use the English language, I'm willing to pitch in! I'm looking forward to working with you.

My Upwork profile has been active since 2018, but I recently started doing more on here in spring 2024. During the school year, I work a day job as a substitute teacher. I started this in 2021 at various middle schools and high schools across the Minneapolis, Minnesota area. I am aspiring to be a licensed English Language Arts high school teacher in Minnesota, and am looking for work on the side. With a Communication Studies degree, I believe I can offer value as an editor and writing coach on this site. I am looking for jobs at an entry-level rate. I have several hobbies and interests. I enjoy DJing and have also taken up running as a way of staying physically fit. I love to travel and have new experiences. These interests show up in my work as well.
