Lauren, I am so excited to be chatting with you today. I feel like we've known of you for a while. I think this is our first time actually chatting in person. Somehow. ah and Yeah. And you are a copywriter and I'd love to learn a little bit more about your story and how you got into copywriting. Yes. Oh my goodness. Thank you for having me here. And I feel like the dog is somewhere in the background hiding. She's like literally incognito right there. I am a copywriter, but we also help with the SEO side of things, which means that our words sound good, but rank well too. In terms of the story of how it all began, I did study journalism. So from the get-go, like as a kid, I remember, because I'm like, second, third, or fourth grade, like one of those. And we had to write this little kind of story, like it let's say a book ended and you're writing kind of the, just like what might happen after that, almost like another chapter. And so we all have the same assignment, but the teacher asked me to come in and read that out loud to the class. And I remember being so nervous and like, y v But I'd say that was one of the first signs that there was something in the writing area that was a good fit for me. So fast forward, did go on to get a bachelor's degree in journalism and started working part-time for other small businesses. I was doing everything from social media management to blog writing, and then of course fell into website copywriting. And it was like, wow, there is just so much artistry and talent here. like I admire so many of these creatives. like I can't even write well in cursive.
