Description
With two published short stories and a Pushcart Prize nomination under my belt, I am a writer at heart. I’ve transferred that skill into diverse experiences in marketing, market and media research, management, and communications. I specialize in writing marketing collateral and streamlining business practices, and am always seeking a challenge. I am currently focused on developing my freelance writing business and learning new software to allow me to expand further into digital media and Web 2.0. This has led me to work for student radio at Kennesaw State University and you can hear my news updates on www.ksuradio.com! Over the summer I worked as a consultant on an exciting project to increase eco awareness in the Atlanta area, which allowed me to combine my passions - writing and Green and Sustainability issues. See the results at www.careereco.com. Also, check out my contributions to www.greendivamom.com.

My ideal company would be a start-up, a small company, or a small department within a larger company. I prefer a casual environment, but one where everyone works extremely hard toward a common goal.
