Allison Khoury’s Summary
I'm new to San Franciso, but not to advertising.
This is my 12th year in the industry and my 7th as a copywriter. I've worked in Minneapoils, New York and Seattle at agencies big and small on a slew of brands. Some big. Some small.
I've gotten kudos for my presentation skills, team player attitude and overall Go Gettum-ness. I've also gotten a few industry awards for my work.
My website will tell you the rest of the story.
