Professional Experience

As an avid reader and bona fide news junkie, I realized the power of the written word at an early age. Some of my earliest memories include spending Sunday afternoons reading the newspapers and watching numerous news shows with my parents. Taking my upbringing and early influences into account, it is not surprising that I have spent a majority of my career as an editor in some shape, form or fashion. As well-rounded freelancer, my key strengths include excellent research and writing ability and meticulous editing skills. I am also quite familiar with the ever-changing landscape of social media as it relates to marketing and reaching new audiences.
