Dana Locke Email & Phone Number

I enjoy leveraging a combination of words, tone, format, and originality to drive results and help people. Whether it's promoting a brand, marketing a product or service, developing training materials, or writing internal/external communications content, give me a structure to follow and I'll make it work – or create my own!A little background… When I graduated college with an English degree, I had no idea my job was a “job” – let alone a career. At the time I considered myself fortunate for actually finding meaningful work in my field of study. And years later, I feel the same way.I got my start in resume writing working with military spouses. This was both a rewarding and challenging experience. It’s where I first gained an understanding of the difficulties people face when they have to pick up and leave their communities and jobs for that of their partner. I was also exposed to the countless acronyms used in the military and government as well as the challenge of writing for clients who move frequently. I soon expanded into helping clients in transition due to corporate relocation or outplacement, marketing their skills toward their career goals.While my passion remains in writing and editing, I progressed to the role of department manager. I’ve succeeded in maintaining over 95% client satisfaction while continuously expanding the team and product offerings to meet growing business demands. I am constantly seeking opportunities for ongoing professional development to keep the team on top of trends and industry best practices. With a desire to continue building my own skills as well, I welcome opportunities to further develop my writing repertoire and expand into new mediums.Areas of expertise:Writing | Editing | Proofreading | Content Development | Project Management | Internal/External Communications | Process Improvement | Customer Service | Training | Grammar | Resumes and CVs (U.S. and International) | Cover Letters | LinkedIn Profiles | ATS | MS Word Formatting | Team Leadership | Quality Assurance
