If at first glance you thought my name was Mary Poppins, welcome to the club. It’s quite a common misconception. While I do not fly around on an umbrella, nor am I even close to practically perfect in every way, I still have some tricks up my sleeve.

I am a graduate of Boston University where I received my Bachelors of Science in Communication for copywriting. As an Italian girl born in New Jersey, raised in Texas, and schooled in France, Ireland, and Boston, I’d like to think I have a pretty interesting take on the world. (A Jersey Girl/Southern Belle hybrid is quite a rare breed, let me tell you.) I’ve always let my experiences guide my creativity and drive my passion for good work and good fun. Copywriting has given me the perfect outlet to craft my wit, creativity, knowledge, and spunk into words that matter when they’re put into the world. One of my favorite professors at BU once told us: a good advertiser is a cultural omnivore. Someone who takes in everything around them and channels it into their creative thinking. So that’s what I’m doing, and what I strive to be: a cultural omnivore.

But if I could be Mary Poppins, I totally would.
