I love sparkling water, taking walks, reading, knitting, podcasts, a nice cocktail here and there, hanging out with my dog and my cat, and covering everything in hot sauce.
I’m a Writer and Editor currently creating Happiness, Laughter, and Love with the fine people at American Greetings in Cleveland, OH. As a greeting card editor, I have mastered the art of short yet impactful copy that conveys emotions directly to consumers. I also have experience in marketing and social media campaigns for American Greetings and Papyrus brands.
