About Me
I'm a content creator, copywriter, editor, and search marketer.
As an English major, I've studied everything from rhetoric, composition and linguistics to literature and creative writing. I've also taken immersive classes that have focused on strategic communications, and literary editing and publishing.
I've built on the skills I learned through my course work and strategic communications immersive class, and have especially taken an interest in digital marketing. I interned at Russell Media for a year where I continued to develop my writing skills, and learn more about the digital marketing world. I'm excited to put my experiences and skills to good use, and make a difference in the world.
As a Marketing Intern at Russell Media, I managed and produced content for social media accounts for many different clients, wrote copy for content pieces, edited client blogs and websites, and headed SEO efforts and email marketing.
As a Strategic Communications intern, I drew on my design and marketing skills gained as a member of Jacket Copy Creative. I edited and managed the blog for the Ball State English department, as well as managed the department's Twitter account, and designed digital slides. I was heavily involved in the migration of our old blog site with eight years worth of content to a new site.
As one of the poetry editors for The Broken Plate, an international literary magazine,I vetted over 160 poetry submissions and copyedited the accepted pieces. I have experience copyediting in a journalistic setting as well, as I have copyedited for the Ball State Daily News.
For more information on my background, check out my resume or contact me. I'd love to talk about how I can be of value to you or your team.
