My Life In WordsCollaborative, friendly, potential friend & writing and editing assistant

How I became interested in writing and editing:
I worked on the newspaper in college. I found that I enjoyed telling stories about various events and people around me. I enjoyed working for a larger publisher during my internship and I was able to edit other student's writing. I currently have 5+ years experience in communications related environments including experience with content writing, data entry/accounting, editing, proofreading, and research. Additionally, working as a freelancer and contractor has taught me well about managing my own practice and business. Over the years I had experience collaborating with several marketing teams and clientele. Proficient in Microsoft Office, Quark, InDesign, and Adobe Photoshop, I previously had the honor of working for several corporations and various smaller companies in the Philadelphia area as well as one on the west-coast. Perhaps I can be of some service to your business or company. Available for networking, freelance/contract work, remote work is a possibility as well. Contact me and I will do my best to respond to your request with availability and rates.
