Experience

I’m a copywriter by trade, but love all things culture. Whether it’s incessantly telling everyone that Little Mix deserved more love in the U.S., scrolling through Tiktok for [redacted time], explaining what a new trend or word is to my coworkers or being on top of all things OnlineTM, I try my best to be up-to-date, in-the-know and just ... relevant.
