I had seven great years working for WSDOT, but then I was laid off in mid-2012 as part of statewide staff reductions. I was hired back right before Christmas 2012 due to several staff changes, and served another year and a half as a Temp.My job duties included delivering timely and accurate information about state highway projects and issues to a tri-county area (Whatcom, Skagit and Island counties). I managed communications from small projects to projects with funding exceeding $100 million, and emergencies from floods to the I-5 Skagit River bridge collapse.I wrote content for the web, social media, press releases and alerts, news articles for magazines, communication plans, folios, event handouts, mailers and internal documents. I have extensive background in planning and executing public events (public meetings, ground-breaking and ribbon cuttings, etc.). Public event skills included everything from site prep and logistics, backgrounders and speaker notes, to media outreach and event-day logistics. My people skills have been well-tested as a public employee, and I am proud of the friends I've made from ordinary folks that didn't believe there would really be a person on the other end of the line when they called, or a personal response to an email.I assisted in video production, including script writing, site locator, and final editing/production assistant.I've written content for grants and recently worked on a large $19 million grant package from the first draft to final product.I'm FEMA trained for working during a local, state or national emergency.

EWRX was a dot-com" company for automotive enthusiasts. My work included website content building, customer service and data entry. This required a lot of research and data entry for new sections of the website, working with administrators on new ideas for expanding content, and responding to customers.
