Oh, hey—I didn't see you there. Welcome to my About page. The part of the show where we talk about, well, me.
I'm a south-ATL-based copy ACD, currently putting pen to paper at Trade School. I've spent the past four years honing my craft here, creating best-in-class content for brands like The Home Depot, FedEx, and Southwest Airlines.
I've learned to thrive when there's something to build, re-build, or reimagine. There's something special about hashing out a problem with a pencil in your teeth—from complex video productions to detailed copy guidelines.
I'm not afraid to blur the lines of where a "copywriter's job" begins and ends. I've handled social for a pro motocross racer, directed social photoshoots, and wireframed alongside developers. Because being a writer is more than lofty ideas and word docs—you have to be willing to roll up your sleeves.
