You know, I hate it when you go to an about page and don't learn much about who that person really is. So let's not do that. Here's a bit more about me.
I started my first business at age 19: It was an Etsy store selling vintage-inspired jewelry I assembled in my bedroom. I experimented with marketing it through my Tumblr blog and social media as well as through influencer partnerships with relevant bloggers.
I ran that online business for five years, earning features and accolades as a top-selling store along the way. It generated five-figures in profit (all while I was attending college and working full-time.)
When I eventually dipped my toes into the world of freelance writing, I was able to pull from my hands-on experience within the world of eCommerce and leverage that perspective as a writer.
Since 2013, I’ve been building upon that foundation of eCommerce expertise, and today I’m a subject matter expert on the topics of retail and selling online, writing for brands like Shopify Plus, Octane AI, Aweber, BigCommerce, IBM, AT&T, and more. I also use this expertise in a journalistic setting, writing about ecommerce and DTC for publications like Vogue Business, Forbes, Adweek, and others.
Today, along with my writing work, I also co-host the Freelance Writing Coach Podcast and the Off The Clock podcast, offer one-to-one coaching for writers, and regularly speak at conferences.
