Professional Experience
As founder and publisher/editor in chief of GALO Magazine, I believe I would benefit your company through my knowledge of the written word as well as through my understanding of and experience with publishing, marketing and managerial tasks. I must emphasize from the get-go that I can only come on as a freelancer. However, I do have enough drive and time in my work week to allocate it to freelance projects. I do prefer remote/telecommute location jobs, but will consider traveling locally.
I am able to work diligently and on strict deadlines. Moreover, I have strong leadership and management skills, the ability to multi-task, and have some experience with graphic design, html and CSS.
I believe that my organizational skills together with my writing, editing, publishing, marketing and management experience would enable me to provide your publication with innovative and fresh content or ideas.
