During her junior and senior year, she interned at Discovery, Inc. and wrote for the websites of HGTV, Travel Channel, DIY Network, and Great American Country. Some of Addie’s earliest memories involve flipping through magazines with her grandmother, so seeing her name in the byline was a full-circle moment.
Following graduation, Addie took over social media for DIY Network, now Magnolia Network, and moved to Nashville to pursue her dreams of working in the music industry. As a freelance writer, she continues to cover lifestyle content and help readers achieve their best home.
