ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

I know it appears that I have jumped back and forth from copywriter to administrative work. Simply stated

copywriting pays better. But advertising has changed and I do not see myself as a blogger and snippet ad

writer for Flickr, Twitter or Tumblr.

I moved back to Virginia in July to be closer to family (not health issues, I just missed them) and I feel more

comfortable in the world of details, organization and accomplishing set tasks.

I feel my diverse background can be an asset to your organization. One I am willing to prove to you every day.
