About Me
Hey, I’m Krissi.
I’m the Head Instructor at my South Korea-based English academy and the founder of a small (but mighty) and successful content writing and strategy company.
I work these jobs simultaneously and, more importantly, it’s my goal to help self-motivated women create their own success stories by building their own freelance writing businesses.
My Story
After graduating from university in 2009 with $60,000 USD in student loan debt and holding a few demanding and soul-sucking sales jobs, I realized I needed a change.
By Christmas 2011, I was broken. I was living in Portland, Oregon, and knew I needed to do something “crazy” to get me out of my personal slump and into a job that would challenge me in more consequential ways. So, in 2013, I moved to South Korea for a year to teach English.
Long story short, what I expected to last a year turned into more than eight. After my first two years, I went from being a teacher to becoming the Head Instructor. But while I was loving my job, I still wasn’t making enough to tackle my massive debts. I needed more money.
But then in 2015, something amazing happened! A former friend from college approached me with an opportunity: Helping her with her growing Content Marketing business. Before I knew it, I’d started a content writing and strategy side hustle and I've never looked back.

Where I Am Now
In 2017, I launched my own freelance writing business: I’ve worked with countless business owners in a blur of industries, paid down massive amounts of student loan debt, and had extra money to travel more while living abroad. Best of all, I've built a life I love.
Over time, I realized that I had stumbled, inadvertently, onto a secret so many other women were oblivious to: That you can build a business doing work you're passionate about without sacrificing your sanity.
After a while, I didn’t want to keep the secret anymore. As I met more and more friends, I knew I had a wealth of information I could share that would benefit them, too.
Guess what? You can become a freelance writer – no matter your background – and make good money doing it.
I’m here to teach you how to do it.
