Once upon a time, I dreamt of becoming a highly successful, freelance photographer. But after shooting a bunch of pets, parties and marketing content for a hair transplant company, I decided to shift lanes.

In 2018, I applied for AWARD School, graduated as a Top 10 student and earned a 1-year apprenticeship at TBWA\Melbourne. After that, they decided to take my creative aspirations seriously – by offering me my very first Copywriting gig.

Her path was officially (and finally) set!

I eventually moved to Dentsu Creative, where I wrote some more words, ticked off Copy School, joined the Aunties, tutored – and judged – at AWARD School, snatched a few ‘prestigious’ awards and learned from the greats at AWARD Uni.

Today, I’m working as a “Lead Tinker” at Thinkerbell and loving the décor.

I swear I’m not as bland as this bio. But if you require proof, you can email me at monique.horsley@gmail.com
