About Me...
Writing is a passion I've pursued since my teens , when I started creating zines in my free time.
In my mid-20s, I was hired as an editorial assistant at The Orange County Register and was promoted to a full-time staff reporter. I also freelanced for various local print publications including Laguna Beach Magazine, Newport Beach Magazine, VelOCity Magazine, and Orange Coast Magazine.
In 2008, I transitioned to the corporate sector as an advertising and marketing copywriter. I've worn various hats as a copywriter, storyteller, editor and translator for a range of companies, from startups to Fortune 500 companies including Verizon Wireless, Johnson & Johnson, Dell Business Services, and NTT DATA.
I'm currently available for full-time, part-time, and contract / freelance roles in copywriting, editing, proofreading, and editorial.
