Elizabeth Jennings de González

I'm a copywriter and content strategist currently living in Toronto, Canada. In high school, I was voted most likely to be the next dictator of a small island nation. It hasn't happened yet, but I'm not ruling it out.

I specialize in SEO web copy and digital content strategy for SMBs. Until recently, I also taught Biology, Algebra II-Calculus, Spanish and the SAT. And because that simply isn't enough, I keep my sleep quota in the red with two startups in-the-making.

I'm from a rural desert town on the Texas-Mexico border, where the tumbleweeds and cacti outnumber people about two-hundred-too-many to one. Struck by wanderlust, I joined the American Field Service (AFS) when I was sixteen and spent a year in Paraguay, where I learned Spanish, stayed in a Buddhist commune, backpacked through Brazil with flamethrowers, and–most importantly–met my husband, a film composer (who was, for the record, not from said commune).

I spent the following years turning in papers and traveling through a dozen countries, working as an archaeological researcher in Belize, fundraising for Indian (Tamil Nadu) and Guarani non-profits, starting a photography business, lobbying at an embassy in Buenos Aires, and conducting ethnobotanical research for both independent projects and NGOs pertaining to Mexico and Kenya/Uganda. When that got old, I moved to Canada and entered the web industry as a copywriter. I wrote, I edited, I marketed.

My degrees are in Anthropology and Latin American Studies from the University of Texas at Austin. I'm an avid reader, science enthusiast, and unwitting pun-isher.

I speak English and Español. I read and mutilate Portugues.
