SKILLS
Why should you hire me?
COMMUNICATOR
As a journalist I've had to become a great communicator, both in conversations with interview subjects as well as with PR professionals and my own editors and colleagues. I'm not afraid to ask questions, request help, make a call or be honest with someone about what needs to be done to complete a project.
WRITING
I have written hundreds of news stories now over a period of more than five years. With a range from breaking news, utilitarian stories, feature writing and longform investigations, I'm confident in my ability to adapt to any type of writing assignment.
EDITING
With experience as an editor in college, as well as the necessity to edit my own stories in a time of limited newspaper staff, I'm able to spot grammar and style errors. I love to read my own stories out loud before turning them in and editing sentence by sentence, making sure that they are written in an easy to understand manner.
