Long story short?

She approaches everything she does as if you were sitting on a park bench with her sipping a cup of tea/coffee/hot cocoa. Honest but never cruel. Witty but never obnoxious. Insightful but never inciting. A "Not-So-Average Girl Next Door", she is the girl that you’ve always known, who says exactly what you are thinking when you are too scared to say it yourself.

Oh, and she writes copy like it's her job.
