I invented and hand-crafted ideas that made an impact in our clients' brands. I wrote effective, engaging copy that sells, gets people excited, and fits within strict regulation and guidelines. On top of that, I collaborated with team members and outside vendors to make some really cool stuff for clients, including TV, outdoor, print, sponsorships, direct mail, digital and more.

I helped the Bookmarks Bookstore in Old Oakland with marketing and community outreach, bookstore maintenance and help manage and sort donations.

Wrote creative digital brand stories, developed effective online content strategies, and provided copy editing services to clients in the financial services and technology industries.
