Description
My career -- for the first, 15 years -- was in all arenas of journalism, including photography, reporting, editing and finally, start-up publications as editor-in-chief. The last four years I've been in administration; much lower pace, wonderful flexibility, uses all my computer, analytical and communication skills, and affords growth in different areas.

Book | "Time Management" | media url | This is akin to "Cliff Notes" on proper time management. I actually purchased this for one of my employees, but own a copy myself. |
Book | "Stress: Living And Working in a Changing World" | media url | This isn't necessarily or directly related to stress, but moreover on wellness, coping with "situations", emotional, physical and intellectual abilities and building on those in the workplace. |
Book | "A.P. Stylebook" | media url | I receive each updated version, as it is the journalist's "Bible". It is what it says -- a stylebook with guidelines on proper word usage, grammar, sentence structure, appropriate communication, proper abbreviations and/or acronyms, etc. |

Accomplishments
Highlights:
*Many -- again, see resume. (I did interview the former Pope; that was a personal highlight)Companies I like:
I'm interested in many opportunities, but not a "single" organization. Any company which has a highly motivated group, compensates employees based on production and accountability, affords opportunities which take advantage of pre-existing skills, and involves some writing and/or artistic skills, as well. I type 130 WPM, so I'm able to multi-task and enjoy a job which involves all of these abilities.
