I have 8 years of experience working as a reporter, in-house marketing specialist, and PR agency account executive. During my time as a reporter, I interviewed sources, captured and edited photos, and wrote time-sensitive articles. I covered topics that included education, business features, profile stories, art and entertainment, reviews, sports, and breaking news. From there, I began working in marketing and public relations to further expand my writing skills. For these roles, I collected information and wrote content for media and client websites and social media accounts. This includes writing press releases, media advisories, pitches, web posts, social media posts, blogs, and content for newsletters, flyers and brochures. I’m currently a freelance writer for an IT service and consulting company, where I write engaging and informative blog posts for client websites.
