Client: Amy Poehler's Smart Girls

Female empowerment is my JAM. It's been a privilege to write essays, articles, and social posts for Amy Poehler's Smart Girls since 2013. Favorite thing is a tie: 1) Writing my Notes to My 12-Year-Old Self essays and 2) Running a #PositivityPowerHour on Twitter to shout our accomplishments from the mobile mountaintops.
