Sandy Sanchez is a junior copywriter at McCann New York. A Salvadoran-American originally from Texas, she graduated from The University of Texas at Austin in 2017 and then moved to NYC, where she bounced from apartment to apartment for months until finally settling in East Williamsburg. She’s a two-time MAIP Fellow and has interned at DDB Chicago and Y&R NYC, where she ended up landing her first post-grad job. Lover of all forms of writing, Sandy is also on the editorial team for Novella, a women’s writing salon in New York City. She loves to overshare, so she’s been published on Refinery29 for her money-spending habits and on Man Repeller for her untamable frizzy hair. She wants to see more women of color in advertising, especially in creative roles, so she’s a Women Who Create mentor, a mentorship program for creative women of color. On weekends, Sandy is usually in SoHo eating a slice of pizza (and getting sauce all over her face), taking French classes, Tweeting, and buying plants. Talking in third-person makes her feel detached.
