Fun Fact

For work, I had to write a review for a burlesque show– having never been to one before. I was not prepared for the sheer number of nipple tassels involved, but it was still a fun review to write. (https://aserondotheatrereviews.home.blog/).

Passion

I am a strong writer and editor who obsesses over getting the words right. I am also a frequent doodler who enjoys adding visual graphics to my writing. Looking for opportunities where I can write, edit, and design.
