HELLO!
I’m excited to submit my resume for your consideration. You’ll find I’m exactly the person you’re seeking in terms of managing communication teams and actual writing experience.
SKILLS
Professional communicator with excellent writing, verbal and presentation skills. I specialize in developing persuasive communication campaigns that prompt consumer action, such as for a U.S. Senator, a university and a major energy company.
Editing is in my blood. The corporate annual reports I wrote and edited were quasi-legal documents, where any error in punctuation or grammar could have serious repercussions involving shareholders, employees and federal regulatory agencies.
