Courtney Lee
Highly dedicated writer/journalist with extensive writing experience covering community news, sports and human interest stories.
At the age of 15, she began writing and taking photographs for a local newspaper in Coral Springs, Florida. During this time she was discovered by a modeling school. After graduating high school, Lee returned to the local newspaper. She covered a broad range of local and national news from politics to sports. She covered the 2008 presidential race and attended the Hillary Clinton campaign event at Florida Atlantic University. Lee also interviewed 2008 Olympians, Dara Torres and Walter Dix.
Lee walked in the “Rock the Runway” show for Seventeen Magazine in the Miami area. At the age of 19, Lee created an online international newspaper tackling social issues. In 2012 she graduated Cum Laude with a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from Kean University. After graduation, Lee returned to modeling in the NYC area. One day while on the set of a popular t.v. show (as an extra), Lee noticed the writer making changes to the script. That was when Lee realized she wanted to work behind the camera with a pen in hand.
Lee is currently a freelance copywriter in the Las Vegas, Nevada area.
