it’s why (in addition to jumping out of planes) i ran with the bulls in spain, solo-traveled through south africa, scuba dove in the red sea, and continue to terrify my parents with increasingly outlandish adventures.
if you’d like to hear more about my PADI-certification in zombie apocalypse scuba diving (or my advertising & social media skillllzz), drop me a line. xoxo
**even tho i am but a humble copywriter, i have moderately mastered the art of prompt engineering & Gen AI (clause, chatGPT, nano banana pro, gemini, midjourney, seedance, veo, runway, etc. you name it, i’ve probs used it)
****do i have qualms with AI? 1000%. as every sane being should. but it ain’t going back in pandora’s box so i try my damndest to keep up with the times & to use it for #NOTevil :))
