Maybe it's because I wouldn't shut up as a kid so my spoken word became meaningless, but things changed when my high school marching band was planning a trip to Disney World. My parents said I couldn’t go, so I wrote them a letter about why they were wrong and listened at the door as they read it aloud. My little teenage self felt so victorious as I heard them question their initial decision and then agree that, yes, I should be allowed to go on the trip. It was in that moment that I realized my writing had power. (Not in an evil way but who knows, never say never) (just kidding I’m not evil) (pretty sure I’m not)

Currently, I am a creative based in New York, New York, working as a copywriter at BBDO NY.

More random facts about me:

  • I like to write & write

  • And play the piano & flute (as mentioned above)

  • And travel. I spent a year in Spain… that will probably come up in convo sometime. So will me being Lebanese

  • I don’t have a sweet tooth at all… I will eat anything salty instead, especially pretzels & pickles (not together though… well, maybe)

  • Atonement is my favorite movie :’( </3

  • I’m scared of the ocean but I love the beach

  • I’m the biggest night owl and I’m constantly going between loving and hating it

  • I have two younger brothers

I’m really dedicated, so if you’re looking for someone that’ll get the job done and done well, I’m your girl.
