The focus of my career has centered on the importance of effective written communications. I began as a high school and college language arts/writing teacher, and later worked as a technical writer and editor. I am currently the Senior Marketing Communications Manager at McCreadie Group where I create promotional materials and marketing content, implement online marketing activities, develop and execute the communications strategy, design training materials and courses, and manage the virtual annual conference. While I continue to rely on my communication skills, a large part of my role involves strategizing, planning, and project management.
