Hi, I'm Maris
A marketer and advertising copywriter at McCann Detroit who values connection and creativity in both work and life.
I'm a proud Texan, having attended both Texas A&M University and The University of Texas at Austin. But my work has taken me places like Milan, New York and Detroit (this one virtually, but still), where I've been able to contribute to businesses like 3M, John Frieda, U.S. Bank, GM, and more.
Outside of my professional life, I'm passionate about empowering others, volunteering with the Girls Empowerment Network to mentor young girls in Austin where I live now. I also love yoga, gardening, reading thrillers, traveling, and cozy crafts.
