Brigid is a writer and owns two thrift store film cameras.
This is the visual aid.
About me:
During the workday, I can be found in my home office writing long-form content and developing content strategy for a workforce development tech company. In my spare time, I write fiction, cook elaborate meals, swim, try to not get sunburned, text people to ask for their birth times, and go to the YMCA. In the winter, I smell like chlorine from the Y pool.
If you’re wondering if you recognize me from somewhere but can’t quite place it — in 2022, I lost on Jeopardy! (but I was awarded a Galactic Legend badge by Duolingo later in the year).
Before writing full-time, I worked first in media and communications and then as a high school teacher in Washington, DC. In my early-career comms jobs, I learned a lot about the federal government, print and digital advertising, and choosing the right shoes for both commuting and the office. As a teacher, I worked with students new to the US. We performed Shakespeare in three languages and took the Metro to Smithsonian museums and Nats games. I improved my Spanish to a B2 level, and my accent is like if a Honduran teen spoke with flat Milwaukee vowels.
