Cori is an eclectic mix of silly faces, dorky fun, and Dirty South charm. She’s a full-time freelance copywriter, professional blogger, and serial entrepreneur whose been playing (Sorry, working!) from home for over 4 years now.
She tries like mad to help others do the same by sharing her challenges, successes, and horror (Woops, we mean humor!) stories with all and sundry.
She is founder and “Chief Dork” (as well as the brains and dubious brawn) of the popular entrepreneur’s blog Big Girl Branding, where she enthusiastically shares the aforementioned stories and utilizes her freelance copywriting skills helping other brands engage their audience and sharpen their own messaging.
She’s been featured on notable blogs like Virgin.com, Copy Blogger, Problogger, Gala Darling, Freelance Writing Gigs as well as Fire Pole Marketing and Design Sponge, to name a few.
She’s known not just for her own unique “voice” and cheeky moxie, but also for her ability to adapt to the “voice” of her clients and capture their vibe with creative prose.
Catering to mid-sized business owners that understand the value of the written word, she rapidly built a name for herself that’s only continued to grow since she first wandered online back in 2008.
While it wasn’t all chocolates and vino, Cori was never one to bail on a challenge and doggedly persevered, seeking success. She kissed her old job of cleaning vacation homes good-bye and resolutely refused to look back.
While she didn’t quite strike it rich (at least in the moola department), today Cori is engaged to be married, is a passionate Christ follower and is a mom of three (count ‘em THREE) amazing boys she gets to spend time with every day, never missing an important moment.
So despite not swimming in dollar bills, she still considers herself pretty damn rich indeed.
She is passionate about writing, inspiring and sharing her knowledge, experience and faith with others and feels God-led and God-blessed that she is able to do so.
Her current mission is to share the news that YOU TOO can be independent and on the road to financial (and spiritual) freedom, with or without a college degree or typical 9-5.
All it takes is a little faith in God, hard work, and focus, focus, f***ing FOCUS!
