With strong leadership, communication and organization skills, I can be counted on to complete assigned tasks efficiently and with the maximum attention to detail necessary to ensure the best end-product. A quick learner, I can be creative and resourceful on a tight deadline. I strive in fast-paced environments and am proficient at multitasking and prioritizing.
With a Bachelor of Science degree in mass communications and psychology, I fine tuned my writing and editing skills working in a sports media relations office. I’ve held several positions, including production manager, copy editor and staff writer at an award-winning, twice weekly newspaper.
In addition to my journalism and public relations experience, I have edited a variety of marketing materials including direct mail pieces, newsletters, websites, rack cards, and brochures.
Furthermore, I am spent a great deal of time proofing briefings, presentations, situation reports, white papers, decision briefs, executive summaries, and other materials used in the corporate world to brief senior staff and stakeholders. I’m also experienced at writing, designing and editing training materials such as study guides and quick reference cards. My dedication, tenacity and attention to detail make me an asset to any project.
