Doesn’t that photo make me look like a cool, creative free spirit? Because, um, I guess, I totally am. Or at least I’m a good enough creative to tell an innocent bystander how to take an interesting picture of me in a Midtown bar. Sure, it looks like I might not have hands in this photo; but that was her creative choice and I respect it.

Other things you might want to know about me: I found my creative voice doing stand up in North Carolina, honed it over a decade in the ad industry in New York and now I get to bring that experience to some of the coolest agencies writing for some the most fun brands as a freelancer.

In the meantime, I’ll just be over here in my Brooklyn apartment, sewing my own clothes, serving as a volunteer tax preparer and accusing my boyfriend of purposefully making my dog and cat love him more than me.
