A head-on collision at age seven, in 1998, left me with a spinal cord injury. During primary school, I found an oasis in films and daydreams, which nurtured my imagination and led me to develop storylines and characters. I planned to use my infatuation with the written word to tell meaningful stories about the world’s misfits and artistically minded individuals.

 

I decided to pursue a career in writing. My original goal was to become a screenwriter and to see the character-driven storylines I loved creating come to life through the performances of talented actors I adore, unfolding on camera. By age twenty-one, I received a Bachelor’s Degree in Film and a Master’s Degree in Creative Writing from a private college for entertainment, Full Sail University.

 

After college, I struggled to break into the entertainment industry, so I pivoted toward technical writing and content creation. I relocated to Miami, where I accepted a position on the management team of a research organization, The Buoniconti Fund and The Miami Project to Cure Paralysis. After three years, marriage and a second income allowed me to graciously leave my first job to stay home and work on a novel. Sadly, an unexpected divorce thrust me back into the job market two years later. In 2019, I started writing editorials and transcribing interviews for a popular online lifestyle magazine, Haute Media Group.

 

After several jobs that gave me experience in technical writing, I completed courses offered by the social media management firm My Social Lady and earned my certification in mid-2020. Over the past two years as a social media strategist and writing consultant for several small businesses throughout Florida, I have designed promotional content to expand their brand’s reach. I fell in love with the graphic design and web creation aspects of my social media job, which led me to create my brand, initially called Wild4Words. Now, I offer print, digital, web, and brand graphic and document design services through Moore Designs by Ash, the final name of my company.
