Hi! So, I have a degree in Math.
... Mostly because I'm the 1st-generation child of ex-Soviet immigrants who insisted on it.
But much to their chagrin, I also:
(a) am not a doctor
(b) am not a lawyer, and
(c) have an English Lit degree as well
(which has thankfully led to 10 years of experience as a creative)
I like to read...
I've spent that time copywriting at agencies... going to ad school in Berlin... copywriting in-house... copywriting freelance... editing several books (!) including a memoir (!!)... accidentally writing product copy for a snake oil salesman... purposefully writing copy for ___ ... and getting sent on a press tour of Kazakhstan for European journalists (note: I am neither European nor a journalist).
I've also spent that time living in 8 different cities (I call it wanderlust; my grandma calls it the pin in my butt)... ... and perfecting my French Toast recipe.
Sure, it's been a wacky story. You down to make it wackier?
... I love my mom...
... And this is how I fought a cockroach last week
