About

I’m a passionate junior copywriter with a diploma in Advertising & Marketing Communications Management from Mohawk College. I thrive on uncovering unique consumer insights to craft breakthrough campaigns and enjoy collaborating with cross-functional teams to deliver on tight deadlines.

My agency experience—working with senior creatives and client teams—taught me the value of strong relationships and iterative feedback. I’ve earned Dean’s List honors in 2018 and 2020 and have competed in national competitions, fueling my drive for innovative, effective advertising.
