Hi, I'm Brina!

About me

About me:

Hi, all! I'm Brina Patel, a storyteller, content strategist, and digital creator based in California.

I’m passionate about using storytelling to connect, heal, and delve deeper into life’s difficult questions.

I thrive in impact-driven environments and enjoy mentoring fellow creatives so that they can share their talents with the world. My diverse range of experiences within the content marketing world include writing SEO-friendly blog posts, penning catchy web copy, employing UX principles to enhance usability, editing articles for brevity and clarity, and boosting brand awareness through publicity efforts. (I’ve helped people get featured in Forbes and Fortune.)

When I’m not putting words to the page, I enjoy getting lost in new cities, diving into a page-turning memoirs, and spoiling my sassy Maltese

Fun Facts About Me

  1. I love to dance! I’ve done ballet (on pointe) and Bollywood-style. These days, I’m usually dancing in my living room to one of my many Spotify playlists.   
  2. Travel has been one of the most transformative experiences for me. I’ve been to 17 countries and 20 U.S. states (and hope to see many more!). 
  3. I’m a big Bollywood fan. My favorite movie, by far, is Zindagi Na Milegi Dobara (always happy to share other recommendations, as well). 
  4. I spent the first 18 years of my life living on a motel property (my parents were the owners).
  5. I’m very drawn to languages, having grown up in a multilingual home. In addition to English, I can speak basic Gujarati and Hindi. I’ve also studied Spanish and Italian.  
  6. Music has always played an integral role in my life. My favorite genres are R&B, soft house, and reggaetón. I also enjoy listening to South Asian music, such as bhangra and ghazals.
  7. I’m a passionate book lover! My favorite genres are memoir, literary fiction, and poetry.
  8. I have a 11-year-old Maltese and Shih Tzu mix named Prem (translates to “love” in Hindi).
