Who Is She?

Hello! My name is Mari (pronounced Mar-ee). I’m a Queens-based copywriter, editor, and poet from the outskirts of Washington, D.C. 

With a decade of experience under my belt, I’ve helped tech startups, non-profits, eCommerce brands, national magazines, indie publications, and more create compelling narratives that get noticed. 

Some fast facts: 

• I’ve lived in 4 countries: USA, Canada, Australia, and Israel. (My Australian accent is not bad. My Hebrew? Lo tov.)
• I have an MA in English from the University of Toronto, and I’m working on an MFA in Poetry from Hunter College, CUNY. (My thesis is about the very unsexy topic of chronic illness.)
• I’m step-mother to a giant cat named Bilbo. (I inherited him when I moved in with my boyfriend, a giant Ukrainian named Sasha.)
