It started when I was 14. My English teacher told me I was the best writer in her class. My head got super big.* So, I ran with it.
I went to school for Journalism and Public Relations at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. Learned I hated the oxford comma (thank you AP Style). Also learned I loved copywriting (thank you ADV 290).
Then I blinked. Here I am.
