Helped protect and grow a well-known brand in a constantly changing environment, balancing individual attorneys' needs against brand priorities. Internal and external communications, award submissions, social media, and public relations came with the territory.
Marketing Writer
2008 - 2011
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.
Writer and Editor

Became a quick study of complicated technologies to assist with in-house writing, editing, and PR projects, including conducting client interviews, drafting success stories, writing and editing magazines and newsletters, and maintaining blogs, among other projects.
Staff Writer and Copy Editor
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."
