Devon Fennell: Word Twerker

about moi

I'm a versatile senior copywriter with over 17 years of experience in SEO copywriting, email writing, healthcare writing,

brand marketing, and social media marketing. I am seeking opportunities that allow me to reinforce existing skills

while exploring new territories, such as UX writing.
