Since I joined Porchlight Book Company in 2018, I've been writing book reviews, focusing mostly on non-fiction.

My job as Creative Director at Porchlight has included not just updating the website, but helping to rebuild it after the company relaunched in 2018 under its new name. Since then, I've built completely new pages and created copy and graphics to better promote the company's services. Beyond the website, I was fully in control of the company's social media account until 2023, but I still create short clips for Instagram and YouTube, which I also write copy for.

I've been writing about myself and the world around me since I was old enough to be on Tumblr, and thanks to my acceptance into the UW-Milwaukee Honors College, I was able to continue honing my writing skills throughout university.
