I created FernDate after ten years of helping friends, colleagues and myself find exciting dates. I realize presenting yourself online is a distinct skill that I admit doesn't come easily to everyone. My degree in psychology means I’ve studied the nuances of communication, body language, and the science of what makes people compatible. It also doesn't hurt that I worked as a social media specialist for Nike, which taught me how to bring a brand to life through messaging and storytelling. I pay attention, strive for results, and enjoy satisfying victories. I’m stoked to celebrate yours.

From a people-skills perspective, I'm sort of a Jill-of-all-trades. I've worked in the realms of education, medicine, and social service, and I'm currently getting my master's degree in Conflict Resolution. Through it all, what's driven me is a strong sense of empathy and the ability to see people both as they are and as they'd like to be seen. I genuinely enjoy getting to know new people and putting their personality to words, and I think my wide-ranging experience has given me unique insight into how people work, interact, and love. As FernDates's newest copywriter and marketing extraordinaire, I can't wait to help you find what you're looking for.
