I'm an editor, writer and digital media marketer with experience in both digital and print media.
I have: directed, shot and edited serviceable videos, built websites (on Squarespace, but, you know), written, developed and managed the sending of newsletters, edited for clarity, edited for length, written ad copy, written copy, written content, written prose. I have written headlines, subheadlines, pullquotes and Web heads. I know Web is web now, I know. I know AP Style and some Chicago style. I know 2 dashes should be one em dash -- with spaces around it, even though sometimes it looks classy without the spaces.
My mother always said people who use the word "classy" usually aren't. She still says it, she just lives in Florida now.
I like to read, I like to watch, I like to listen, I like to stare. I'm good at all of those things. I love Facebook, even though it's not cool anymore. But I love other social media, too. I even joined Peach, and where are we with that lately? Doesn't matter, I'm into it.

I ran my first 5K a couple of weekends ago. I know a lot of people run 5Ks, so whatever, but as a fat woman who has a complicated relationship with exercise, this was a big deal for me.
