about me

I am a Pittsburgh-based copywriter and digital marketing consultant seek-ing a challenging and rewarding career in advertising. With a wide range of experience, skills, and education that make me uniquely qualified for many entry- and mid-level positions, I am excited to work with your team.My experience in marketing and communications spans the profes-sional and the academic, with more than two years as a freelancer and an MS in New Media Management from Duquesne University. As a consultant focusing on social media, graphic design, and copywrit-ing, I have become adept at approaching projects under evolving conditions, and keeping my clients’ goals and audiences at the cen-ter of my work. My graduate studies at Duquesne University gave me a strong theoretical and practical background in modern commu-nications and cemented my desire to enter the field of advertising. Studying journalism, public relations, digital communications, and me-dia management, I received a practical education that sets me apart from others in the industry. I am a goal-oriented hard worker who excels taking lead on particular tasks within a team setting, and I can promise diligence and creativity in any position or project I take on.
