I am seeking a senior position in web content management, social media, new media, publications, public relations or marketing and communications.
I have a passion for creative communication, from the written word to the visual image and from online to print. I am an award-winning writer, a respected editor, a passionate photographer and a longtime blogger.
I have a bachelor’s degree in journalism and a master’s degree in creative writing.
As news editor and web content manager for University Relations at the University of Montana from 1997 to 2008, I was responsible for university home page content, the UM Style Guide and the weekly campus email newsletter, among other things. I continue to do writing, editing, web design and marketing projects for the university.
I am open to relocating in the West. I am also interested in freelance assignments and telecommuting positions. I love to travel.
