ABOUT ME

In 2015, my life as an aspiring writer changed. That year, I collaborated with a few close colleagues and joined their team as an Editor for a local Polish-American print magazine they started from scratch. That was Revia Magazine. Unfortunately, the time for Revia came to an end much too soon - a mere two years after its launch. It was a tough time. 

However, the project and dream endeavor was not at all a waste of time. Over the two years as the lead editor, I learned valuable lifelong lessons no other opportunity to date had taught me. When I interviewed influential people for Revia cover stories or articles, I learned to listen not with my mind, but with full intent and awareness to what people were sharing with me. After all, they were telling me thier story. I found that the more I did that, the more I later enjoyed writing about and sharing their story. 

Today, Revia is continues on in a digital form - something my friends and I relaunched this summer. I look forward to continuing to listen to the Polish, as well as the rest of the Multi-cultural community and continuing to share their important stories. I have learned that there is a lack of knowledge and awareness about Poles living in America, and it's an honor to bring a fresh perspective to break any engrained stereotypes, mis-judgements or mis-information about Poles, and respectively, to educate young Polish-Americans about their culture and heritage and how they don't have to sacrifice it just to fit in modern American society.

Through my several years as a writer, and marketing professional, I've realized that no matter what I write about, I always learn something new each time my fingers tap the keyboard. Whether I'm communicating to the media a company's brand story, aiming to convert a social media follower to a potential consumer, or simply re-telling someone's personal life story, one thing for sure is I always enjoy educating and inspiring an audience through my writing. On a professional level, I thrive most when I can mix my creative writing side with my strategized marketing planning side to generate original, fresh, and innovative copy that reaches the right set of eyes at the right time.
