Hi! I'm Scott Blacklock. Right now I'm an Executive Management Assistant working for a combat sports & lifestyle company called Muay Thai Guy. I'm also an experienced English (ESL) teacher. I started teaching kids, teens and adults how to speak English in 2011 in South Korea. Since then, I've taught at a private after-school academy, an English-learning theme park, a Canadian K-8 primary school, and in e-learning ESL environments.I'm also a versatile writer with 15+ years of professional writing experience. From Advertising to Journalism, freelancer to resume writer to marketing email writer, I have an enormous breadth of writing experience. Targeted, comprehensive writing is my specialty. In the past, I've written advertisements for globally recognized brands such as Microsoft, GM Canada, and Nestle. I've also worked closely with local organizations and individual clients, researching, producing, and editing copy of all kinds. I've written tons of good content for museum exhibitions, bloggers, community newspapers, social media, and company communications.
