Hello

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.

Others say:

“Brigid is such a consistent and talented writer.”

“Writing a truly immersive and fully developed story that is exactly at word count is an impressive flex.”

“She sprinkles in details that not only add to the texture of the piece but make contributors seem more real and their experiences more relatable.”

“The interviewee comes across as creative, fun and innovative, and Brigid’s lede perfectly sets up her Q&A.”

“This writing goes hard. I especially love how the piece was formatted — concise, well-focused subsections for each interviewee. It's clean prose and thoughtful quote selection all around.”

“She found the perfect entry point and kept the narrative momentum the entire way through. Each item brought so much color to the interviewees, taught us about unique facets of the business and was just straight up entertaining to read. This is a masterclass and a half!”

“Her ability to appreciate, to adapt, and to grow within shifting cultural environments is extraordinary. She has grit. She has grace. She has a divine sense of humor.

“Brigid is not just a seasoned researcher; she is also a well-liked person who can adapt to a plethora of different cultural environments.”
