I hate writing bios but here you go I guess: I grew up in rural Indiana and was always doing something creative: writing, sewing, drawing, dancing, planning my future career as a supermodel-pop star-author-fashion designer.

I started writing “professionally” in ninth grade when I would write my friends’ book reports for $20 a pop. After a bunch of internships and graduating from The Media School at Indiana University in 2018, I started my advertising career in new business and account management, and quickly got bored of that and moved into copywriting — idk why I didn’t do that in the first place.

After I survived my first agency, I went on to a great local agency called TrendyMinds where I worked on Salesforce, Cummins, the Indianapolis Art Museum, and more. It was a wonderful little shop that showed me that agencies can be good — I remember it often and fondly.

Then I had a Hit Tweet! I got noticed and recruited by someone at Golin (slash DeVries, a boutique subset of Golin) and after months of consideration I made the leap into Big! Agency! Life! Learned a TON very quickly and made great connections.

Now, I’m at Dentsu (the Social Creative Lab specifically) and I work primarily on Burger King with a side of 7-ELEVEn. My work day-to-day is fast-paced but rewarding, and it feels good to have so many eyeballs on my work.
