About Me

I am seeking a full time position in the Marketing Communications industry, specifically creating and/or editing content for the Web and strategic planning of media projects from conception through release.

I have worked in both the retail and clerical/administrative industries for the past seven years. During this time I worked closely with the public, which afforded me the opportunity to learn about management, marketing, fostering successful client relationships, professionalism and team work. Through my experience I have learned that I am especially skilled at anticipating and establishing client needs by asking the right questions, handling organizational paperwork, and creating “info-taining” (informational and entertaining) content and marketing tools to drive business goals.

I will bring to you someone who understands that social media is about building relationships with people through offering a unique and valuable experience. My engagement has resulted in people seeking me to contribute to their blogs through guest posts and a following of over 1400 and presence on over 100 lists on Twitter. I also run a weekly chat on Twitter that connects Generation Y tweeters with Generation X and Baby Boomers; and, the number of participants continues to grow each week. I am a social media evangelist and always encourage those around me to see the value in tools such as Twitter and blogs to further your goals and grow as a person.

I want to make the Marketing Communications industry with emphasis on driving user interaction and education my career. As a fast learner, I can grow beyond my current entry level experience quickly, offering your company a great asset as an employee. I thrive in both independent and team-oriented work environments and can effectively represent the company in professional settings.
