I write, edit, and wield a red pen with grace. I am a marketing maven whose specialties include content creation and ghostwriting for sites, newsletters and blogs; proofreading and copy editing (see red pen comment); and research. I have a background in Marketing Communications with diverse business interests encompassing: traditional and online marketing, web development, social media, creative strategies, relationship building, project and event management, and sponsor cultivation. I like learning new technologies/SaaS on the fly. Over ten years experience in nonprofits made me particularly interested in leveraging networks and peer/guerilla marketing tactics. I believe in lifelong learning, and relish a challenge. A lover of people and schmoozing, my goal is to stay busy and appease the workaholic side of me, so I also do the following: - Freelance work for small businesses - Make jewelry - Garden, cook, hike, walk and read - Dance like there's nobody watching
