I’m a writer based in Chicago
(or wherever I can carry my laptop), with experience in academic, creative, and technical writing and editing.
Copywriting
Queue Brand Communications
2021 – Today
From summer intern, to Junior Copywriter, to Copywriter (no more qualifying “Junior”), Queue Brand Communications has seen me through my entry into the workforce.
At Queue, I collaborate with a close-knit team of creatives to develop campaigns that cut through clutter. I’ve written print, digital, and social one-off ads, campaigns, and content for a variety of clients in the food and wellness spaces.
B2B, B2C, B2B2C…name an acronym, I’ve written for it.
With impeccable grammar, of course.
Academic Writing and Editing
I also have experience in graduate-level academic writing and editing. My undergraduate studies in English and creative writing at the University of Illinois introduced me to the British Romantics, whose works I continued to study at the University of Oxford. While there, I completed an MSt thesis exploring human transgression and the natural sublime in the works of Wordsworth, Coleridge, and Blake.
I returned to academia in 2023 to complete an interdisciplinary MA degree at Arizona State University. During my studies, I worked as an Assistant Editor for the American Literary History Online Review, a digital academic journal published through Oxford University Press. I also completed a thesis examining the causes and effects of censorship on South Africa’s literary scene during Apartheid, particularly on dissident fiction and its authors.
