About
I am an experienced and personable content producer who can do it all. I have expertise in writing, copyediting, proofreading, word processing, graphic design, video editing, data entry, and file management. I specialize in accurate, high-speed typing (130 WPM). In my long career as a senior digital producer, I stood out by being extremely tech-savvy, highly organized, and committed to integrity. I seek roles with open-minded organizations looking to add a team member with a diverse background. I believe in mutually empowering collaborations with clients, teammates, and internet strangers-turned-best-friends. I am passionate about carving non-linear paths to success and helping people realize their creative vision and achieve project objectives. I come alive when working with creators who value inclusivity and positive change.
