Delilah Bourque

I'm a writer, content manager and social media manager based out of Pittsburgh, PA.

About Me

Hi, my name is Delilah and I've been a writer my whole life. For as long as I can remember, stories have been my passion. I graduated from the University of Pittsburgh with a B.A. in English Writing in 2021. Post-grad, I joined the university's Department of Computer Science, where I spent a year revitalizing the department social media and web pages. Now, I work in content marketing and as a freelancer.

As a freelancer, I've been able to grow into the kind of writer I have always wanted to be. I have experience doing a little bit of everything, from food writing, to personality profiles, to web page content writing. I love to have the opportunity to try something new and use the experiences I've had along the way to make my writing better.

This BLT Pasta Is Your Cool-For-The-Summer Salad | Fifth Season

Growing up an only child in the Connecticut suburbs, my extremely outdoorsy parents had but one offspring to pass their love of everything that is dirty, smelly, or physically challenging onto: me. In high school, while I preferred to stay indoors with a good book and generally keep away from any non-fictional people, my parents adored everything from fishing, to hiking, to their greatest love — hours and hours of yard work.

Scull, a senior triple major in communication rhetoric, sociology, and gender, sexuality and women’s studies, is bashful when it comes to their academic rigor.
