From passion to profession…
My journey in writing and marketing began in childhood, driven by a passion for storytelling. In high school, I immersed myself in creative writing, advanced English classes, and contributed to the school newspaper and video editing organizations. At Columbia College Chicago, I studied writing and honed my skills in storytelling, crafting content for diverse audiences across various mediums, including print, online, and short stories. As part of my coursework, I worked on an alternate reality game (ARG) project, creating immersive narratives that blended real-world and digital experiences.
I furthered my expertise with a Master of Arts in Secondary Education with a concentration in English from Dominican University. Professionally, I’ve created engaging content for a range of industries, from travel publications to medical and veterinary sectors. My experience includes optimizing technical writing processes, developing curricula that improved student outcomes, and producing versatile content as a freelance writer.
Teaching allowed me to share my expertise and refine my curriculum development skills, blending creativity with structured content creation. Now, I’m excited to return to my passion for writing and marketing, eager to craft impactful narratives and engage audiences effectively.
