Editor and Copywriter

About Me

I am a freelance editor and copywriter. I have worked for Get It Done Publishing, LLC as an editor and copywriter. I was an editorial intern for SOCIETY19. I have freelanced articles for Tempesta Media. I am a graduate from Full Sail University with a B.F.A. in Creative Writing and an Alumni from the Disney College Program.

I am an ardent reader of multiple genres and I write scenes for future novels as soon as they pop into my imagination. When I am not reading, I enjoy spending my free time with my adopted cat, who's really a dog, Jack Sparrow.
