    allimcki.com I'm a full-time freelancer of over 7 years who specializes in visual communications. As a graphics operator for conventions in Las Vegas, I help clients get their PowerPoint presentations show-ready and then ensure their content displays correctly throughout the event. My knowledge of PowerPoint, communication, and video engineering make me the perfect person to help you design your content for your next presentation. My freelance career began as a writer and editor who specializes in SEO content and academic writing. While earning my B.A. in Political Science, I spent three years tutoring writing, and my tutoring experience enables me to accurately identify, correct, and explain errors in a short period of time while editing. I largely attribute my Upwork success to those fundamental skills that I learned as a writing tutor. As I moved away from writing and delved deeper into live events, I found my passion in content creation for presentations. Whether it's printed media or a PowerPoint, let me help you bring your event content to the next level!
