I have more than 25 years of writing/editing, public relations, marketing, and promotion experience. I have been both a print and broadcast journalist so I know what the media is looking for when they read your press releases.
My areas of expertise are broad and I have developed successful marketing campaigns for many types of businesses including horse transportation, hair salons, caterers, and a Nigerian venture capital company, just to name a few.
My journalism training has equipped me with exceptional research skills. I am able to write competently on any topic because I will do whatever research is necessary to achieve the perfect result.
I am detail oriented and work quickly and efficiently.
