I wrote my first story when I was eight years old, with a typewriter three times my age. Now, I tell stories in a variety of ways- including student and faculty profiles, news articles, career outlooks, industry spotlights, videos, and social media posts. Despite my affinity for typing, I keep up with the latest marketing best practices, but when it comes to writing – I employ the old news adage: Keep It Simple, Stupid.

I’m an online content editor for the University of Wisconsin Extended Campus, which means I’m telling stories about students’ experiences in their UW programs and creating content strategies to support our marketing team’s certificate and degree campaigns. I create and implement content strategies as a part of our yearly marketing campaigns, and work with the media team to shoot video interviews with students and faculty. I also assist with social media campaigns and keep tabs on Google Analytics to ensure the content we are creating is resonating with our target audiences.

Storytelling has always been a part of my life. When I was in college, I wanted do what most journalists call “comfort the afflicted and afflict the comfortable” through investigative reporting. However, after enjoying an internship at an ad agency after graduation (Cramer-Krasselt), I realized my storytelling abilities could also be used in copywriting and content marketing.

Whether your story is good or bad, I can make it sound great. I’ve been known to turn around solid copy in just minutes.
