I was born and raised on Vancouver Island, on the South-West tip of Canada, surrounded by ocean, rainforest, and some of the tallest trees in the world.
In my early 20’s I met and I fell in love with a Swedish man, who moved to Canada and kept me company while I finished my writing degree.
Somewhere in there, we got married and got jobs and got kinda old, too.
Then, at age 35, we packed up everything and moved to Sweden.
I didn’t speak Swedish. I didn’t have a job. And my savings were quickly running out.
In Canada, I’d been a Content Marketing Specialist at a university. I was doing creative yet important work, and it felt like people recognized that work. I’d even won some marketing awards!
I knew I was a great copywriter, and I figured there would be a demand for great English-language copywriters in Sweden. So I was sure I’d have no trouble finding a new job.
But I was wrong.
I spent months applying for jobs through traditional means… and I actually had a lot of interviews. But every interview ended the same way:
If you lived in Stockholm, we’d definitely hire you. But we’re not hiring remote workers right now.
This happened over and over again. It was depressing. A couple times I came in second for a job, and the deciding factor (according to the people doing the hiring) was that the other person lived closer to the city.
I’d always wanted to be my own boss. I loved the idea of choosing my projects, setting my hours, and meeting new people. I loved the variety of it. I’d done some freelance work back in Canada… but didn’t put my “all” into it because I had a full-time job.
But now, in Sweden, my savings was quickly running out.
One of the (many) interviewers I talked to suggested that I set up my own company so that I could freelance in Sweden.
So that’s what I did.
I’ve worked with:
I’ve written hundreds of landing pages, sales letters, promotional emails and web pages.
And now I want to work with you.[/vc_column_text][vc_separator][vc_column_text]
You’re an entrepreneur.
You’re working hard to build a brand.
You believe wholeheartedly in what you do.
You care about quality.
You care about data.
You care about results.
You’re not looking for someone to do the bare minimum and call it a day.
You’re not looking for a beginner, rookie, or noob.
You want someone who’s going to take your business seriously.
Sound right?
Then I want to work with you.
Hit me up.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row foundry_background_style=”bg-dark” parallax=”” parallax_image=””][vc_column width=”8/12″][vc_column_text]
