Marketing

I’m very detail-oriented and have ensured that all designs and copy follow brand guidelines for several businesses and organizations. I’ve created brand guidelines for my own projects and ensure all material follows guidelines.
Photography & Photo Editing

Social Media Management

Education
I’ve been involved with education for years through volunteering, work, and student teaching. I also have a Master’s Degree in Elementary Education.

I’ve used data from both formal and informal assessments to inform and adjust my instruction to reach every student.
Data Analysis & Management
I’ve collected data using surveys, assessments, Google Analytics, and research, and have tracked data using Excel and Sheets.

I’ve managed large numbers of files and have worked with my team to keep all files uniformly labeled, stored in the shared drive, and submitted on time.
Public Relations
I’ve written press releases, staffed booths, planned community events, and spoken at donor events. I’ve represented organizations in the media, including TV, radio, and the newspaper. I’ve also tracked public perception and media coverage by setting up Google Alerts for key terms, analyzing the coverage, and linking and summarizing the coverage in a monthly Excel report.
Project Management
I’ve managed many projects – both independent projects and team projects. I’ve used shared drives to manage files and track progress on project assignments. I’ve worked with and followed up with my team to make sure we all met the deadlines we had developed together.
Writing
I’ve written dozens of articles for websites, magazines, blogs, and newspapers. I’ve covered a variety of topics, such as drug abuse prevention, etiquette, cyber safety, music, fashion, business and organization accomplishments, and events.
Copy Editing
Copy editing has been a key part of all of the positions I have held. I’ve editing both my own and my team members’ written copy and pay close attention to details. I’ve edited work for grammar, spelling, sentence structure, word choice, readability, and flow.

Illustrator: I’ve used Illustrator to do digital art which I then sell on platforms such as Redbubble and Society6. I also use it to create items I need for posters and other materials. I’ve also used Procreate (an inexpensive alternative) to do digital art when I don’t have access to Illustrator.
WordPress: I’ve built multiple sites on WordPress, including my portfolio. My favorite website builder plugin is Elementor and my favorite visual plugin is Visual Portfolio. I’ve also updated information on existing WordPress websites for several companies and organizations.
Wix: I’ve built several sites on Wix and have set up and managed ecommerce on Wix.
