I'm a published Writer, Editor, and Performer with a BA in English Literature from UC Berkeley and an MFA in Creative Writing from Oregon State University. As a professional musician and songwriter, I have been writing compelling copy and engaging through social media with an online audience and am ready to build on my knowledge. In addition, I have a long history of event planning and promotion. For the past two years, I worked as a Graduate Teaching Assistant while pursuing my Poetry MFA at OSU, a position which has allowed me to further my capacity to self-manage and oversee projects, while increasing my mastery over language. Prior to my admission at OSU, I spent over a decade as a touring musician. From this, I learned to carefully curate a connected social media following across a wide variety of platforms; to manage internal and external communication; to plan, book, manage, and promote live events; to design aesthetically pleasing and informative graphics; to utilize digital content optimization; and to advertise product releases. I embrace a careful attention to detail and firmly believe that when trying to accurately convey an idea, every word matters. I am skilled in occupying different voices or personas in writing to achieve a specific tone or appeal to a particular audience. As an instructor, I learned to guide my students to write persuasively and concisely and know I can leverage these skills to benefit your team as well.
