 I'd describe myself as a unique blend of creative and analytical.

Creative because I love to write, and have (much) more than once found myself lost for hours editing videos and podcasts. 

Analytical because I've learned that creativity needs to be backed up by a logical, results-oriented plan of attack. Without one, nobody’s going to see how creative you (and your company) really are.

I'm left-handed AND left-brained, if you will. 

So how did I get here?

It all comes from my work and educational background. At first, I wanted to be a filmmaker (still do), so I studied film. Then, I realized that Hollywood is tough, so I went to journalism school – not a great time to be a journalist if you want to have a personal life AND eat food regularly. So, I took a hard analytical turn into marketing, and cut my SEO, SEM, and content marketing teeth with a small, hyper-local marketing agency in Ottawa. 

After that, I caught the marketing bug. 

Since then, I've worked for international SaaS companies as an SEO & SEM Specialist, as a freelance writer, SEO consultant, and web content strategist for small and large companies around the world, as a podcast producer and videographer, field marketer, as a Content Marketing Manager, and now, most recently as a senior copywriter.

It's been a weird journey, but I got here. Creative and analytical working together nicely. 

Here's to more weird journeys to come.
