"Our doubts are traitors, and make us lose the good we oft might win, by fearing to attempt." -The Bard
I have never doubted my ability to learn and teach others, but I had to make a committment to becoming fearless when I started my own business. In November 2007, I turned a hobby into a business when I sold my first article for profit. What followed next has been a wonderful surprise in finally running a successful home business, that uses every ounce of my talents.
EDUCATION
I graduated from Christopher Newport University in Newport
News, VA in May 2006. Armed with a degree in Political Science,
Leadership Studies, and extensive minor course work in English, I
jumped right into Corporate America. During my tenure at CNU, I was
heavily involved with student politics and the school newspaper.
WORK EXPERIENCE
After my Federal Work Study, providing administrative support
to the President's Leadership Program, ended in 2002 I joined a
temporary administrative assistant firm to finance my education. For 5
years, I was a true renaissance woman ,
pinch hitting at non-profit
organizations, engineering firms, and real estate offices. I left each
assignment with more robust computer files and paper
filing systems than when I arrived. Starting a new assignment had the
same exhiliration of the first day of school-- a feeling I still get
everytime I begin a new writing project.
VALUES
I value honesty, responsibility, and kindness above all else. I learned my customer service skills from the geniuses at Walt Disney World, and use them everyday. I don't want to just provide incredible written copy, I want my clients and customers to enjoy working with me as a freelance professional. My mission is to elevate the quality of work available to clients from an e-lancer, and provide a little literary magic whenever possible.
Always Smiling,
