Copywriter and comedian

At six years old, I pretended to be Wolverine and used my mom’s butter knives to carve up my bedroom walls. At seven, I insisted my little league coaches call me Yoda. At eight, I asked my dad who “Carrie Ossidy” was, and why she wanted to kill a cat.

Today, that same imagination fuels everything I do, from telling stories and crafting jokes to writing ads that stick.

Stand-up comedy taught me how to treat humor as a skill. How to dig for premises, distill them into sharp, relatable ideas, and find the punchline that lands. It taught me how to perform, how to sell myself to a room full of strangers, and how to know when a joke is ready and when it needs the right edit.

Copywriting taught me how to use that same skill set and apply it to brands. I love being introduced to clients and getting obsessed with their products, missions, and stories. Then comes the fun part: creating disruptive, memorable ads that pull people in and make them care. Copywriting is the first job that made me realize work can be fun, even when I’m staring down deadlines, balancing a pen between my nose and lip, and trying to crack the perfect line, even when I’ve got two pages of information and need to make it sing in one.

Every day, I go home feeling lucky that this is what I get to do for a living.
