About Me

Black and white headshot of Haley smiling.

Hey, I’m Haley. :) Thanks for stopping by. I’m so glad you’re here!

I'm an enthusiastic, creative geek who LOVES storytelling of all kinds. I have experience in multiple industries, including digital marketing, themed entertainment, health & wellness, entertainment, social media, journalism, print media, e-learning, and technical publications. 

My diverse writing + editing background and love of pop culture, entertainment, performing arts, and media have given me a unique perspective on content strategy and brand voice, enabling me to treat each project as a creative endeavor.

Whether I'm glued to an amazing film, writing my own fiction, buried in a book, listening to my favorite music, or helping you tell your brand story, I'm usually immersed in some form of storytelling.

Some Fun Facts…

  • I earned my Bachelor’s degree from the University of North Alabama, where I double-majored in professional writing and history.

  • I’ve been writing and editing professionally for over 17 years, with 10 years of experience in the digital marketing world.

  • I’m a fantasy novelist! You can learn more about my series, The Witness Tree Chronicles, at authorhaleywalden.com.

  • I’ve been training in martial arts (Tang Soo Do + Tae Kwon Do, with a bit of Jiu Jitsu and Taiji thrown in) since I was 14 years old. I currently hold a 2nd degree black belt in TSD and a 1st degree black belt in TKD.

  • Proud “weirdo” and Renaissance woman here! I’ve worked in many industries and have a wide range of special interests and obsessions, including history, music, movies, and Broadway musicals.

  • Oh, and I’m a walking repository of random movie quotes, song lyrics, and pop culture references. :)
