Hi! It’s me again! Here’s my story…
From a young age…
…I’d always had an interest in stories and creativity. I would make up fun scenarios in my head and listen raptly whenever a good story was being told. I can still remember the feeling I got after my first creative writing project at school. It was love at first word!
During my university years…
…I was hell-bent on studying writing and I couldn’t imagine a life without expressing myself through storytelling. I even transferred to one of the few schools that offered creative writing as a major for undergraduates. As a student, I took on some incredible internships, including an editorial internship with Refinery29, where I learned how to write for one brand voice while keeping up with the fast-paced digital landscape. I graduated from Florida State University in 2014.
As a scrappy college graduate…
…I spent my first year in the ‘real world’ freelancing and pitching to publications, trying to get my foot in the door. After that, I took a job as a blogger for an online publication, where I assisted a major celebrity personality in creating fashion, wellness, and lifestyle content for her following. Within the first year, my team and I managed to increase our monthly unique visitor rate by 50%.
