In my current position in the Marketing Department of the Corporate Office of a national hotel company, I am responsible for creating/editing/proofreading all advertising collateral, brochures and directories. I have coordinated the company's employee recognition program since it began. I handle the creation and direction of all print and database aspects of the program. I have extensive experience with copy editing and proofreading mail pieces for both direct mail and email campaigns. I also have 3 years' experience creating, editing and proofreading corporate annual reports.
I have become the "resident grammar expert and proofreader" in my office. I am lucky to have an eye for detail, and I have always enjoyed grammar and fact checking. I tend to be an extreme perfectionist - I give my all to every project with which I am involved. I am not satisfied with my work until I have put forth 110% effort.
In addition to my experience in the business sector, I am highly experienced in literary research and academic writing. As an English major at a liberal arts college, I wrote countless essays on a wide variety of topics. I also proofread and edited papers for my fellow students during college.
