About

For the last five years, I have complemented my restaurant management duties with copywriting and content writing work. Since September of 2018, I have worked as a lead copywriter for the bicycle tour company Grasshopper Adventures, curating their social media posts and emails, writing their catalog, and putting together high-ranking SEO web pages and posts. Along with copywriting, I have many years of experience as a creative writer and essayist, and my work has been featured in Verge Magazine, The Mindful Word, and HuffPost among other publications. While I am passionate about writing on any subject, my experience is largely in the travel, tourism, and restaurant industries.
