Alyssa Towns

Hey there! My name is Alyssa Towns (Swantkoski). I'm so happy you're here!

I'm a freelance writer based in Denver, CO. I always dreamt of getting paid to be a full-time student, and being a freelance writer is the closest I've gotten to achieving that dream. I love writing and telling stories about productivity, careers, and growth. I run on countless cups of caffeine, always use the Oxford comma, and enjoy purchasing more books than I'll ever have time to read.
