Hello, again!
Presumably you’ve come to this page because you’d like to know something about the person with whom you may do business. So here’s a bit about me:
- I’ve had a passion for words and writing from a young age (there are old composition books at my parents’ house filled with poems and stories about cats and squirrels). Basically, I was born to tell stories.
- I attended Johns Hopkins University, where I received a B.A. in The Writing Seminars (similar to an English major, but with a very heavy emphasis on your own writing). While there, I won the Louis B. Azrael Fellowship in Communications, a $5,000 scholarship based on my articles for the independent student newspaper and graduated with departmental honors.
- After spending a few years in electronic publishing (where I didn’t get to tell stories), I went on to receive a graduate degree in playwriting at The New School in New York City, where I learned to write for a variety of audiences.
- Because of my background as a playwright, I was hired by an advertising agency, where I happily worked in both a full-time and freelance capacity (i.e., I have the ever-popular “agency experience,”) on ad banners, superstitials, trivia questions, e-newsletters, direct mail postcards and more. I also worked on a variety of product campaigns, including OTC medicines, shampoos, food products, fabrics and hygiene products.
Since then, I’ve been writing copy for various websites, serving as a section editor for the first online beauty magazine, keeping a blog and reading every blog, whitepaper, e-book, article and book I can get my hands on that has to do with freelance writing, copywriting, marketing and SEO. I don’t do it just because it’s my business: I do it because I find it all fascinating.
In other words, I have knowledge, experience and enthusiasm:-)
