I come to the field of web content creation from an unusual background--one that includes numerous different types and styles of writing. I have employed my skills as communicator, researcher, writer, analyst, editor, and proofreader in the following areas:
* high school English teacher
* community college English professor (and e-course designer)
* academic researcher/writer (earning an M.A. in English and producing an award-winning thesis)
* freelance web designer
* Content Management System trainer
* fiction manuscript proofreader
* resume writer
* ghostwriter (training materials) for international nonprofit relief organization
* blogger
As a result of my broad, liberal arts education, my Web savvy, and my varied writing experience, I bring to my work an excitement and curiosity about my clients' business that make for vibrant, engaging content.
