RESUME
As a communications specialist with experience writing and editing for both print and online, my portfolio is varied and diverse. Publications include articles in DCist, Washington Classical Review, On Tap Magazine, Overtones Magazine, and the National Endowment for the Arts' NEA Arts Magazine. I've also written 50+ articles for AU's College of Arts and Sciences and Kogod School of Business' news websites.
I am also a marketing professional and have extensive experience generating and editing content for brochures, flyers, e-mails, and websites. Because of this duality in my career (journalism + marketing), I am able to craft content for many different sources and can easily adjust my voice to communicate to a variety of audiences.
