Below is some of my relevant writing and creative experience. Additional info and pieces are available at request. My contact information is below. Thanks for taking a look!
Embrace Marketing and Communications
Head Writer and Account Executive
2018 – 2020
As head writer for the Embrace Marketing and Communications team, I was responsible for the agency’s creative copy regardless of format. Beginning with a summer-long social media campaign, I graduated into writing technical copy across industries, filling websites, preparing company newsletters, scripting and storyboarding public service announcements, and developing brand identities from scratch alongside our creative team and marketing strategist.
I had the opportunity to develop more personal relationships with several of Embrace’s clients by serving as their account executive; I learned to navigate high-level technical jargon in several industries, from smelting and energy production to pest control.
Crescent Magazine
Sports Columnist
2019 – 2020
For several years, Crescent Magazine was starving for sports content to fit alongside the features, reviews, lifestyle columns, and social critiques normally found in the publication. I’d written pieces on the NBA and NFL before, but the magazine gave me my first opportunity to stretch my fingers. I focused on basketball - as a Hoosier, it’s almost bloodright - providing yet another piece to diversify The Crescent’s offering.
Remembering the zaniest moments in the NBA’s recent history, gnawing on the league’s relationship with China from a unique angle, and commemorating a cultural icon passing too soon in Kobe Bryant - I explored professional basketball’s dynamic news cycle through triumphant highs and debilitating lows.
Freelance and General Work
Copywriting and Editing & Graphic Design
2020 - Present
My work hasn’t ended since leaving the agency world. I continue to write and design on the side as I work in a full-time position - also writing and designing, among many other responsibilities. My skills and experience have expanded to include fundraising, sponsorship, and grant writing, as well as public relations messaging.
I currently do creative contract work, but I also continue to write on the side and have built an extensive personal portfolio. I proofread and edit most of my office’s written output.
This isn’t an exhaustive list of my work. I currently prepare mass mail/email pieces, newsletters, fundraising campaigns, event advertisements, recruitment efforts, program guides and tutorials, public relations, and banquet/event scripts. I work with a local non-profit to provide these multimedia services - while also supporting programs on the ground in five Southern Indiana counties.
If you would like to request work samples not shown here, please contact me and I’ll supply whatever’s asked for. You can find my contact info below.
