Stacey Santos

As our copywriter, Stacey’s job is to write, edit and obsess over punctuation. She creates blog posts, articles, web content and everything in between. Originally from Saskatoon, Stacey swapped her ski pants for a rain jacket and pursued a physics degree at UVic. Two years into it, she realized a few things: Professors don’t award bonus marks for editing exam questions. You can’t write a lab report with a first-person viewpoint. Mario Kart is more challenging when you wear chemistry goggles. The result? Stacey did a one-eighty and found her niche as a writing major, with her work being published in magazines, newspapers and online. She specialized in creative non-fiction, which allowed her to develop a personable, yet factual, writing style. And even though Stacey ditched physics, she’s thankful for her knowledge when she needs to write about scientific subjects. As a research junkie, Stacey loves her job’s diverse subject matter. She loves writing about unusual things and finds herself becoming genuinely interested in the subject matter.

She also loves the creative freedom and the social interaction. Even though writing itself is often solitary, working for a social media marketing company allows her instantly connect with others through her words. Other than writing, Stacey loves reading, hiking, playing softball, tinkering with the harp and piano and criticizing punctuation errors in restaurant menus. And even though she now lives in Victoria, Stacey truly misses the snow and is always planning her next trip back to Saskatchewan.
