Marketing Nerd. Philosophy Enthusiast. Feminist.

What you need to know about my writing style:

  1. I break every rule that exists about cliches and metaphors.
  2. I can’t make an intentional pun to save my life.
  3. I ghost-write daily for SMEs, so here I don’t censor my style and tone.
  4. I respond to comments. A conversation will ALWAYS be more interesting than a blog post. Always.

Some stuff you might (or don’t) want to know about me.

Nothing in my life has gone the way I planned, and I quickly learned that what I think I want is never what I actually need.

  • I wanted to go to NYU. I graduated from the University of Scranton.
  • I literally laughed at my professor who said I had a “knack” for marketing. I didn’t want to sell my soul to “The Man”. Now I’m an inbound fangirl.
  • I never wanted to get married or have children. I have an amazing partner and an exuberant tiny human.

And those are just a few of the topsy-turvey twists my life has taken.

From philosophy student to test-prep book editor, from non-profit volunteer to corporate marketer, I’ve made quite a few “pivots”. Here’s hoping some of the lessons I’ve learned, questions I’ve had, and experiences I’ve endured will help someone else on their journey.

And most of all, I want to perpetually learn from my family, my friends, my colleagues, and the strangers I meet daily.
