My name is Santina and I’m a professional wordsmith and content creator based in Florida. I’m an experienced writer and editor with a passion for content — and my experience and education allow me to leverage those skills in my career.
I received my Bachelor of Arts in English from Florida State University where I majored in Editing, Writing, and Media.
I spent nearly a decade working in state government serving the citizens of Florida through my work with the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.

At the time of my departure, I was leading a team of curriculum developers as Lead Editor and managing the publication process of 3 textbooks and dozens of online courses.
I currently work as a Content Manager at Capital One.
