The Work

About Me

My education, history, and goals

You could say I have anything but a one-track mind. After graduating from high school in Franklin, TN, I enrolled at DePauw University where I received my degree in English writing. I also worked as a digital video production intern in DePauw’s Information Technology Associates Program for all four years. After graduating in 2017, I moved to Portland, Oregon to host and perform stand-up comedy. During the 2020 lockdown, I shifted my focus to freelance copywriting, SEO management, voice-over work, audio-video production, and finishing my first pilot script.

Since then, I’ve worked for brands like Dovetail Workwear, Farm to Fit, Diversified Trust, Harvey’s ATV Parts, Nusachi, Arizona Tile, and more!

I’m a fast learner who always seeks new skills to add to my arsenal. Most recently, I’ve been writing content for Be Found Online, an outstanding SEO and digital media company.
