Get to know me!
I graduated from college having majored in journalism with a minor in business communication. I have been working as an office manager for the past three years as well as freelancing as a copy editor. I have also been carrying HR duties when needed.
I possess a sharp eye for detail, which I use to find even the smallest errors in text. I work well under pressure and can produce high-quality work in short periods of time. I have strong interpersonal skills and work with a wide variety of people.
I am looking for an opportunity to work with a team that runs on clear communication. I want to align myself with a company I believe in and where I can create positive change. I am always looking to learn more and am open to taking on challenging projects.
