About

I’m a strategy analyst in finance with experience in research, writing, and project coordination. I enjoy creating clear, engaging content and supporting companies and individuals with copywriting, social media, and virtual assistance. With a strong eye for detail and a love of writing, I bring both creativity and organization to every project. I currently live in Calgary, but I am American born and raised and able to work in the U.S.
