A piece for Seattle Mag about female empowerment and feeling comfortable in your own body (and with other people’s).

WASHINGTON STATE HOSPITAL ASSOCIATION
In 2020, I worked on an ad campaign to get word to the public they should still come to the hospital with non-covid related illnesses. I wrote copy for the ads and this case study.

In 2022, I was contracted to write social media with Girl Scouts of Western Washington. My favorite series I did was on how to support Black culture during Black History Month.
