Professional/Personal Overview
I am an experienced writer, researcher, and editor with analytical and communication skills developed through employment experience and graduate education, as well as over ten years of freelance work. My work in a range of fields and environments has given me the ability to assimilate information quickly and efficiently and produce clean copy targeted to a range of audiences; I am accustomed to managing multiple projects with varying deadlines and I have experience managing other editorial staff and supervising grant and proposal submission processes. My writing and editorial work has taken the form of business documents, including marketing materials, proposals, grant applications, and business plans; training manuals and other documentation; and academic papers, journal articles, and conference presentations. I have provided layouts and content for businesses and other organizations, including newsletters, brochures, booklets, and other materials.
