Copy editor, social media coordinator and freelancer
To use a baseball analogy, I am a five-tool player. I am a veteran newspaper and magazine copy editor, communications specialist with social media and publication/project management skills. Combine all of this with a degree in journalism, and I could fill any content production position among a variety of industries from publishing (both print and online) to marketing and communications.
Noticing details is my stock in trade, and my years of working in newsrooms have molded me into a person who can communicate well among departments as well as handle intense deadline situations and left turns without breaking a sweat.
Specialties: I am well-versed in the usual style guide suspects: AP and Chicago. I am at expert level in Photoshop, Acrobat and InDesign. I am well versed in most social media platforms and analytics tools, and I'm proficient in several CMS applications. My areas of editing concentration are wide — everything from the hard sciences to public policy, news, business, lifestyle, entertainment and general-interest content.
Work Terms
I work evenings and weekends, so flexibility is always appreciated.
