Facts about me:
I’m a 23-year-old gluten-free Saggitarius and recent grad from the University of Minnesota’s Hubbard School of Journalism and Mass Communication with a B.A. in Strategic Communication. Did it just get one-degree hotter in here?!
If I were a noodle, I’d be a spinach tortellini
I once met FINNEAS at a gf bagel shop in NYC, and we chatted
In my spare time, you’ll find me reading, cooking, and crocheting to my heart’s content
Writing is my passion, and I’m dedicated to making the world a better place via meaningful (and fun!) messaging. I dream of one day writing the next great American novel on a ranch surrounded by a bunch of cows, but until then, here I am. Skilled in social media management, copywriting, creative writing, and developing innovative content, Passion is my MO. If there isn’t passion involved, why do it at all?
