About Me
When I had difficulty articulating my sentiments as a kid, turning to pen and paper and writing my thoughts down gave me the greatest comfort.
Now, as one with demonstrated professional communications experience at a major Fortune 50 company, I desire to continue honing my wordsmithing skills, and allow my thoughts and compositions as a psuedo-means for travelling the world.
​
While also proficient in qualitative research, data entry, and project management; I preferably am seeking a (copy)writing or marketing communications position. I am fluent in Chinese, and proficient in Spanish.
'Mere words! Was there anything as real as words?' - Oscar Wilde
​
During my free time, I enjoy reading, collecting books, making pour-over coffee, exploring new cities, taking way too many pictures, and figuring out others' Enneagram types.
​
I invite you to peek into my world! Settle down and let me make you a pour-over cup of coffee - feel free to stay however long you'd like!
