About me
COPYWRITER/COPYTHINKER I like to think, create and solve problems. I believe in writing smart, engaging copy that is on-point, on strategy, and on time. I thrive in a collaborative environment. I understand it's the "why" not the "what". I compose copy. Beats. Tempo. Rhythm. Melody. If you don't, you're just typing. Content should be relevant and bring value to the customer. If not, you're just ...you get it. I bring a positive attitude and an exceptional skill set to every project. I am proficient in every channel. I love what I do. It's my passion. I don't want to write. I have to write. If there is a need to discuss a more leadership position, please review my resume below.
