    Joined as the only writer and grew with the business to provide a voice to three lifestyle brands, represent hundreds of employees, and delight a whole lot of happy customers. Favorite memories include crafting the company's style guide, developing a team of exceptional writers, and presenting a grammar lesson interesting enough to keep a dozen front-end engineers engaged.

    2006 - 2007

    Researched topics of interest to the UCSB community, interviewed subjects, and wrote articles for publication in the daily newspaper. Worked the copy desk fact-checking and carefully editing the entire paper for grammar, spelling, and style. Wrote headlines to conform to the paper's standards for space, clarity, and wit. My favorite was a headline for a Levi's campaign where students could audition for modeling gigs and shop for new clothes: "Genes Sought, Jeans Sold at Levi's Expo."
