Izzy

COPYWRITER, EDITOR, AND STORYTELLER BASED IN LOS ANGELES.

ABOUT ME

Working with words has always been my calling. Well, except for when I wanted to be an Olympic figure skater… (No, I still can’t stand up on ice.) I’m glad I let that dream go!

Upon graduating from the University of California, Santa Barbara in 2023, I earned a BA in Communication and Art History as well as a minor in Professional Editing. Whether I’m proofreading academic papers or writing compelling brand copy, authentic storytelling is always at the heart of my work.

PHILOSOPHY

I write with both character and clarity in mind. The best pieces have personality—but I know that flair is nothing without function. My editing background equipped me with an eye for technical accuracy, as well as a firm grip on a fine-tooth comb.

With agency-based copywriting experience, I know how to use language to build brands and bonds between community members. From long-form landing pages and blogs to short-form print ads and emails, I’ve got the tools to tackle the assignment—alongside the ability to ask the right questions.
