About Me

From correcting grammar mistakes in notes passed in class to developing the writing skills of college level graphic design students, Veronica Orozco has spent years refining her writing and editing skills.

She entered the work force just as businesses were exploring the marketing potential of blogs and has since stayed on top of trends in social networking.

Two years in the technology industry made her an early adopter, but the last two years in art education awakened a passion for design and working with youth.

Her writing skills and aptitude for new technology have not gone unused while she looks for steady employment. Friends turn to her for social media expertise and she is contemplating social media management as a full-time job.
