Primary Skills/Experience:
My natural extroverted personality enables me to communicate well with people on all different levels with proficiency. With a passion for writing and a naturally curious mind, I dig into all projects to find the details that make a story unique and set my writing apart. I have experience in writing for Bill Gephardt and Ch. 2 News, where I served an investigative reporting internship while obtaining my degree in Journalism from the University of Utah. While working for International Paper I independently wrote, edited and produced a company newsletter regarding current business trends as well as the news of our organization. As a naturally creative and artistically inclined individual I have also made it a hobby to play with video editing software and find that artistic and graphic design comes easily for me. My experience in sales and business has facilitated my professional growth and given me priceless experience that I can now bring to any job. I feel my best personal attributes are my constant need for improvement and my patient tenacity in achieving goals. I am always interested in seeking new knowledge and gaining more experience to better myself as a person and a professional.
