About Me

b. 1986, HK.


Hey There!

My name is malena.

Writing has been a passion of mine since the day I started jotting down thoughts in my glittery pink “princess” journal as a kid. What started as a personal outlet has developed into a career that I absolutely love. I’m passionate about taking the task, voice, project at hand and arranging the alphabet to create something entertaining and informative.

I love telling stories and I love a challenge. So, as long as I’m writing, I’m not picky about the topic. However, a few of my favorite things to write about are beer, travel, and the outdoors.


My Experience

My writing career is grounded in my Bachelor's in English Literature and Creative Writing from Augsburg College. Freelance journalism with publications like The Growler Magazine, The Beer Dabbler, and Thirst Colorado honed my interviewing and storytelling skills. My full-time experience in copywriting, content creation, and editing has further strengthened my writing, editing, SEO, and creative direction expertise. Whether you need a digital content writer with SEO best practices in mind or a print editor with a keen eye for detail, I'm ready to help.


Can’t Forget About the Fun Stuff!

When I’m not writing, I enjoy spending my time outside

I love trail running, checking out local craft breweries, and camping. Cracking a cold beer after a long run, sleeping under the stars, and the crunch of my shoes on a trail are all things that bring me pure happiness. I also enjoy playing simple tunes on the ukulele, experimenting with watercolor paints, bouldering, and taking photos.

Looking for a writer? Need someone to try new brews with? I’m your gal! Hit me up. I’d be happy to help you with your projects or enjoy a delicious beer with you. I look forward to hearing from you!
