When I was younger, I always believed having ADHD was a curse. While other kids were paying attention in class, I was traveling to different dimensions in my mind. Creating different worlds. Getting in trouble because my notebooks would be full of stories or sketches, instead of answers. And for so long, I felt like something was wrong with me because I'd let teachers who didn't understand me tell me who I was. But no matter how loud the outside noise got, my soul was louder. And it told me to NEVER stop writing – so I didn't. Instead, I dived headfirst into my imagination. Realizing that it was never a curse...it was a gift. 

​

Now, as an adult, I’ve solo-traveled to almost 30 countries with nothing but a backpack, Google Translate, and of course, a pen and pencil. I’ve shared meals with people I couldn't fully understand but connected with deeply. I’ve done things that had friends and family saying I was crazy, but also, being the first to ask for the stories when I returned. Those experiences shaped me, giving me cultural knowledge and the ability to connect across languages and borders.

​

I’m a senior-level copywriter and storyteller with a background that spans startups, global brands, and full-service agencies. I’ve written everything from commercial scripts and rebranding campaigns to social content and emotional fundraising videos. My experience covers industries like tech, automotive, food and beverage, education, and more – working with clients such as Ford, Pepsi, and even smaller local brands. Whether scripting heartfelt videos or creating bold, unconventional campaigns, I thrive on bringing stories to life with strategy and soul.

​

I don't see products, I see people who need them. I see stories waiting to be created and told. 

​

Whether it’s a line that makes someone laugh or a campaign that leaves them breathless, I want people to walk away saying, “Damn… that was good.”
