I'm a graduate of James Madison University with a degree in English and minors in creative writing and technical writing and communication. During my time in school, I gained experience in writing, editing, and proofreading academic works, including essays, research papers, and creative writing pieces. As a recent college graduate, I have a fresh memory of what professors are looking for in their students' work and can easily assist with areas that need improvement. I have a professional background in marketing/communications, providing me with the skills needed to edit marketing materials, including annual reports, newsletters, e-newsletters, blog posts, social media and website text, and other marketing materials. I always keep in mind a piece's target audience and can help ensure effective communication between the writer and the reader. I have been published in various school-affiliated newspapers and in a travel magazine. I can guarantee timely, useful, and necessary edits.
