I took my first journalism class as a high school sophomore and have been writing since that class!
I earned a Bachelor of Arts with an emphasis in journalism and communications and built a successful career in marketing and internal communications. I have worked for nonprofits, management companies and two Fortune 500 corporations. I enjoy identifying my audiences and developing messages that will resonate with them.
My strengths include:
• Researching, writing, editing and proofreading multi-channel communications.
• Writing articles, direct mail, eBlasts, marketing collateral, presentations, press releases and bios.
• Ensuring all communications are consistent with branding guidelines and written in ApStyle and/or company style.
• Developing and managing project, editorial and social media calendars.
• Managing multiple projects and delivering them on time and within budget.
