My work with Bario Neal is some of my proudest; I was working for a restaurant in the Queen Village area, as both a barista and a content manager, and the owner’s wife— who, at the time, worked for their small, in-house team— said, “Hey, I like your stuff.”

The rest was history.

I spent countless hours researching the Bario Neal brand and the larger world of sustainable jewelry. I was entrusted with editing their 2022 Impact Report, writing SEO-driven blogs, and even tackling their “About” and “Bio” page.

As my first real freelance job, it was among the many learning experiences that I needed (so, so badly) to inform my writing style.
