About Minaal Shamimi
Minaal is a marketing major who has over 5 years of experience in editing, copywriting, and SEO writing for a diverse range of brands. She recognizes the importance of a well-crafted and compelling narrative; from the drinking and debauchery in Mad Men to the heroics of the super soldier in a star-spangled uniform, she appreciates how differing artistic sensibilities come together to tell a good story (which is why she can watch just about anything tbh).
Her favorite pastimes include reading titles by Milan Kundera and other old classics, and finding excuses to make another trip to Istanbul.
