FAQ

Can you tell me a little bit about yourself?

I’m Ali Manning.

I’m Australian. I came to the United States in 2016 to pursue professional ski racing. It taught me almost everything I know.

I fell in love with the East Coast and stayed for college.

I wanted to be a lawyer, so I studied rhetorical theory and interned at fancy firms in Washington, DC.

My dreams were crushed when I learned that being a lawyer didn’t mean shouting killer one-liners in the courtroom.

Then, I discovered copywriting.

Do you really like Vegemite?

Yes, really.

Any relation to Eli Manning?

Yes, I am his long-lost Australian daughter. We have an email chain going - I am asking him to reduce his SEO impact so future employers can find me.

Don’t you miss home?

I miss having sufficient Vitamin D levels. And my family.
