My Resume

about me.

It all started with an essay - three paragraphs about a squirrel with a nut in a tree. I was in the second grade. I got a B+. After that, I was hooked. 

​

I've spent seven years ghostwriting my father's memoir which was an experience that taught me the ins and outs of copy-editing and self-publishing. 

​

I've dabbled in screenwriting and completed several short stories. I started a novel a few years back, and attack it voraciously every now and again.

​

Then a lovely friend of mine asked if I had an interest in doing some copywriting for her marketing business.

 

Now I'm here. Doing that. I write for many different industries - webcontent, articles and blogs. 

​

I'd be happy to do it for you, too.

WORK EXPERIENCE​​

2020-Present​

Freelance Web Copy Writer 

New projects - new career trajectory! A personal friend who has a boutique marketing business approached me to write some articles and blog posts for various business clients. Writing is my first passion and since the Wedding & Event biz that I successfully owned and operated for over 10 years has been stuck in pandemic limbo, I happily changed creative direction to a freelance writing business which operates solely online.

2011-2018

Ghost Writer & Copy Editor - The Caney Kansas Jail Break

So, I've actually been writing this memoir with my father for quite a few years because he is so picky about the material, and it was successfully self-published in 2018. Link to the memoir website > www.allinlifeisluck.com

2010-Present​

Owner & Event Designer - Orange Dove Events

​I'm a seasoned boutique Event Planning & Design business owner with a proven history of juggling many balls at once (surely you've been to a wedding). Orange Dove Events has had great success over the past decade, achieving dozens of 5-star social media reviews on Yelp, Weddingwire, and theKnot. A variety of our events have been featured on prominent wedding blogs and in print magazines.
