About

Hi! I'm a Toronto-based copywriter. With close to 15 years of experience in agency work, freelancing and journalism, I'm able to craft any type of copy required. I am also highly skilled at creating eye-catching and engaging social media content/scripts. I pride myself on crafting communications that are meticulously tailored to the target audience and that stand out in the right way—unique, but relatable. As a lifelong artist, creative ideation is one of my foremost skills (and favourite pursuits). Through work experience and additional tertiary-level study, I am also adept at leveraging AI to increase work quality and efficiency.
