I have more than 20 years experience in journalism and corporate communications. Currently, I am a freelance journalist, published in the National Italian American Foundation magazine "Ambassador" and Cincinnati online news site Soapboxmedia.com. I've always worked in the communications and journalism fields and helped build the social media presence of a new YMCA branch with videos and interviews. And now, as part of the membership experience staff, I work with members directly. It's all about good customer service and communication. I'm also a group exercise instructor and personal trainer. During my 13-year career in the Newsweek Communications Office, I covered the gamut: wrote news releases, placed correspondents on national news programs, handled PR for trade and news events. I am interested in working with a company where I can best utilize my media experience. I write about my Italy experiences on my blog: 1cannolo2cannoli.org. Specialties: Media relations. Networking. Self-starter. News-writing. Social media. Public speaking. Building relationships. Media training. Italy culture, travel, cuisine. Health and Wellness
