WILLINGHAM
Freelance Writer & Journalist
About Me
I am experienced in creative copywriting for brands both large and small. I like to make long stories short and short stories long, and over the last seven years, I have held a variety of full-time positions in advertising and technology, bringing brand purpose to life through community management, content creation, public relations and marketing strategy.
When the clock strikes five, I am a freelance journalist, shedding light on the people and organizations across the country that deserve to have their voices heard.
