Read a bit about me if you dare
Growing up in small-town Connecticut, USA, I would fill the first pages of my diaries with threats: PUT THIS BOOK DOWN RIGHT NOW! DON’T PASS HERE, OR ELSE! But secretly, I wanted my three younger siblings to read what was inside. I just knew how to keep them turning the pages.
I've always wanted people to read what I wrote. Later, after I moved to Berlin, I got a job writing werewolf erotica and learned how to put the pop in popular fiction. My words were reaching hundreds of thousands of readers. It was such a high. But a girl can only handle so many snarling Alphas, full moons, and earth-shattering orgasms. I wanted more.
I think advertising is our most public and popular art form. A good ad is seen by millions of people. A great ad makes millions of people feel seen. And I’ve always been an optimist – I think the best work is yet to come. Now all I need is a team of fellow dreamers.
Here’s to the next big thing. Maybe we can find it together.

Diary
One of my favorite things about writing is collecting. My diaries have always been scrapbooks of the world around me. Business cards, fashion statements, a line from someone else's conversation -- insights are everywhere for me to snatch.
Here are some things I caught during my internships.
3 agencies. 3 cities. 3 months each.
