Welcome!

   Thank you for landing on my professional and academic achievements blog page. This site will serve as an online portfolio and archive for published articles, research papers, and professional publications.
Above you will find tabs linking to my resume, published news and feature articles, academic research papers, as well as, examples of my experience with Powerpoint, voice-over recordings, and Adobe InDesign. To the right you will find links to websites I have published, social media sites I manage, and my work with former employers.
   As a content managing editor for several news sites and blogs, I have successfully managed content and social media marketing strategies for more than 10 Aol Patch.com sites. Honored as a top national mobile editor with more than 500,000 UVs in one month, I am trained to incorporate strategic user engagement styles through social media to create viral SEO content. 

   From crime to City Council and Planning Commission style reporting, to feature and creative writing, I have a passion for pulling the reader in by bringing interesting angles of the story to life.

   My greatest strengths include the ability to thrive under tight deadlines and extreme pressure, while maintaining an upbeat, approachable demeanor. I am an out-of-the-box thinker and enjoy working with people as part of a team, though I also excel as an independent self-starter. 

   With experience in both print and online writing, alongside social media management, and a Bachelor of Arts in Communication Studies, I am excited to see where my road leads to0.
