About MeVelkomst! That is Danish for Welcome, though I don't speak the language, after living in Copenhagen for six months I consider it a home away from home (pardon the cliché). It is a city dedicated to sustainability while maintaining the charm of a fairy tale that inspired great writers such as Hans Christian Andersen and the like. I am a passionate and multi-talented writer with a focus in blog writing and content creation. I am adaptable, detail oriented, and have the ability to write engaging pieces while capturing a story through a unique and exceedingly creative lens. Born and raised in the Bay Area, I moved back to San Francisco after graduating from the University of California, Santa Barbara with a B.A. in Political Science and a minor in Professional Writing. Once I started studying politics I was intrigued by the communication involved and the way media and writing was used as a tool to influence policy. I discovered my true passion for writing and storytelling and secured myself one of the 125 spaces in UCSB's Professional Writing Program. I had the opportunity to join the LoaTree family, an event marketing firm with a focus on sustainability. As their writing intern I wrote a variety of pieces and got to interview and promote products and events for a range of companies and organizations, while also researching and releasing stories on environmental topics of my choosing. This internship, along with my semester abroad in the sustainability capital Copenhagen, Denmark, lead me to my current position at the Sierra Club. Outside of the office I try to find a good balance for the adventurer and homebody in me. I am a very active person and love being outside, letting California spoil me with its weather. I also am perfectly happy at home with my pets, books and Netflix. Like most millennials, I am a recreational photographer (thank you Apple) and adventurer, having been exposed to the contagion that is the "travel bug" and will take any opportunity to experience new people and places. I can find a little piece of home wherever I am, as long as I am surrounded by laughter and good company. I hope you enjoy my site!
