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 as a means to connect, heal, and delve deeper into the more difficult questions in life.
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 30 Under 30 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
