Copywriter @ Rue Gilt Groupe | Digital Media Expert | Fashion E-Commerce

Boston, Massachusetts, United States

About

Based in Boston and currently a Copywriter at Rue Gilt Groupe, I focus on the strategic intersection of digital media and brand voice. My approach to communication is built on a foundation of two years in the Seattle digital marketing landscape, where I managed multi-channel campaigns and translated complex brand goals into engaging consumer stories. My professional perspective is shaped by a tenure as PRSSA President at Washington State University, where I led an executive board and oversaw strategic operations for the chapter. This experience instilled a focus on leadership, accountability, and the importance of purpose-driven communication in every project I touch. I believe that successful fashion e-commerce requires more than just high-quality content; it requires a deep understanding of digital strategy, audience behavior, and the ability to maintain a consistent brand identity across all platforms. Professional Focus: Digital Media Strategy: Leveraging data to drive organic social and content engagement. Creative Copywriting: Developing brand-consistent messaging for the fashion and lifestyle sectors. Strategic Leadership: Managing cross-functional projects and stakeholder expectations.
