About Me

In my nearly two-decade career as a full-time and freelance copywriter, I’ve had the opportunity to work on dozens of brands like UnitedHealthcare, Gatorade, and even Ariat cowgirl boots. TV, OLV, social, digital, radio, or direct mail, I’ve done it all, and in B2C and B2B.

When it comes to creative development, I’m equally comfortable working solo or collaborating on a team. But no matter what the process, my partner and client feedback are critical to creating the best work.

Fun facts about me: I once tried, unsuccessfully, to name my children Link and Zelda, and that’s a nice example of a happy failure on my part - for everyone involved.

Early in my career I wasn’t a fan of the Oxford Comma. But after we borrowed a DeLorean, traveled back in time, and nearly erased our existence, I appreciate the importance of punctuation. And the Flux Capacitor.

Sometimes I concept ideas, listen to music, drink coffee, and write ads all at once. Multi-tasking is another strength of mine.
