About Me
The product of three generations of writers,
I consider my career as a copywriter, journalist and communications professional a genetic inevitability.
Or inheritance, as I like to think of it.
Where it all began:
In this way, I'd argue my journey as writer dates back to my early crayon stories hidden on closet walls. But if you're measuring by audience or commission, I began my journey in college at THE Ohio State University (Go Bux!), where I was a regular contributor to the university's undergraduate blog and Columbus' award-winning, six-publication magazine department, in addition to working for OSU's Center for the Study and Teaching of Writing as both an in-class writing TA and consultant in the writing center. In my final year, I stepped on as the lead digital content specialist for a local IT solutions company following a summer internship.
Currently:
Following graduation, I stepped into my current role as copywriter for Bath & Body Works, where I lead copy for Testing, Pilots, CMI and promotions, and support global floorset campaigns, direct mail, corporate requests, digital product copy, social media and loyalty. Additionally, I just concluded my two-year term as the Communications Lead for our internal Women's ERG group. In this role, I managed all communication strategy and wrote all major communication assets, which included branding and supporting the company's first-ever internal mentoring program, launching a company-wide working parent group and leading communications for the first-of-its-kind, all-day, company-wide ERG conference – in its second year, this conference raised $16.5K for women locally and nationally.
Outside of Work:
When I'm not click-clacking away on the keyboard or scribbling chicken scratch in my notebook, I'm likely off somewhere having an adventure...or at a movie theater (another form of adventure, if you ask me).
My two great loves in this world are cinema and travel. If you're ever bored, give me a call and ask me to tell you about the time I climbed Kilimanjaro, or why I could never watch The Revenant again.
