Digital Content Creator & Curator | Clever Copywriter

WHAT I'M ALL ABOUT
Hi, I’m Ashley! I’m a digital marketing content creator and curator with a knack for clever copywriting. I’ve got a sharp eye for good design, a quick wit for writing engaging copy, and an insatiable desire for grammatical correctness in writing (think of the kid in grade school that loved diagramming sentences - that was me!)
I love people and have a natural gift for providing encouragement, empathy and compassion - all of which pour over into my work. I earned my B.S. in Psychology, which has given me the tools I need as a marketer to put people at the forefront of any good digital marketing effort. I believe that people crave connection and good marketing can provide that connection. I just began my graduate studies in Industrial-Organizational Psychology and am eager to see where this new path will lead me in my career journey!
Welcome to my little piece of the internet. Stay and check out some of my work!
