Hi! I’m Aubrey.

I’m a storyteller first, writer and marketer second. I have a knack for not only making emotional connections, but also connecting the dots and finding the story. Every marketer likes to say they think “outside of the box;” I’m going to be honest: I’m not even sure where the box is.

I’m a natural-born storyteller with a serious love for words. Somehow my love of popular fiction landed me in marketing, where over the past 14+ years I’ve done a little bit of everything. Content marketing, however, is my jam. Which makes sense, with the whole storytelling thing and all. I’m also a passionate fan of the Oxford comma and correct apostrophe usage. I’ve also been called a Grammar Diva a time or two. No, I’m not ashamed about that. At. All.

  • Favorite question: “Why?” followed closely by, “How?”
  • Favorite animal: llama (I’m kind of obsessed)
  • Favorite book: This Heart of Mine by Susan Elizabeth Phillips
  • Favorite food: Tex-Mex
  • Fun fact: I raise Angora goats
