About Me

I'm a native English speaker and writer currently based in Georgia. I specialize in writing commercial copy, content focused on hospitality, travel, content for social media, and email. Over the course of 18 years, I have acquired academic and professional writing experience as a student, researcher, teacher, and traveler. I have worked as a data entry specialist and Research Assistant II at the Guam Cancer Research Center, where I performed various administrative tasks, wrote original publications related to projects and wrote various publications for interdepartmental use, as well as for community partners and businesses. Apart from visiting the surrounding regions and islands as a resident of Guam, I also gained nine years of experience in the tourism and hospitality industry. During this time I traveled to various parts of Micronesia and Asia and attended the University of Guam from 2007 to 2011. Much of the experience I gained writing for Social Media came through being a moderator and administrator over the past seven years. My familiarity with writing content for the web extends to my experience as a virtual assistant for an online boutique. During my eight months as a virtual sales assistant, my duties included the addition of new products, descriptions, categories, and maintenance of web pages from both back and front ends. Other responsibilities in this position included Japanese translations of niche market terms for the web, creating hand-drawn and digital art for web pages, working with databases, performing data entry, and writing various articles related to products. In this position, I also assisted in creating over 150 new products with descriptions from background expertise. I have also worked as an independent data entry specialist and technical consultant for a total of 15 months. Other areas I specialize in include photo editing, visual and graphic design with Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Illustrator, front-end web development (HTML5/CSS3/JS), site deployment, email development, email design, email testing, and creating original logos/icons with branding.
