CONTENT CREATION
PERSONAL BRAND @byleonatowner
I am....
a zillennial (29yo) journalist turned educator based in the Chicagoland Area. I enjoy exploring the world through multidisciplinary storytelling and create personality driven lifestyle content.
From poetic reviews to fact based event coverage my approach blends journalistic curiosity with creative expression to make content that informs and entertains.
I started my personal brand account in January 2026, to document my career expansion, and begin building a multi-platform media company that can sustain its own trusted audience.
Desired Partnerships
I'm seeking opportunities to attend and cover immersive experiences, cultural events, premieres, and brand activations.
I'm interested in hosted experiences and media invitations that allow me to create original, story-driven content as well as paid content production and brand collaborations.
