About me
As a freelance copywriter and social media strategist, I produce clear, concise copy on tight deadlines and offer guidelines and roadmaps on elevating your brand's social media strategy. My experience at Insider Inc., where I grew from an intern to managing a small team, has shaped me into a social media strategist that can work with brands and news alike. My time at Verywell, where I singlehandedly crafted strategy, created content, managed budgets, and launched accounts on new social media platforms, has prepared me to be an independent and scrappy social media strategist who can elevate your brand.
