Nothing is more important than a professional, well-chiseled impression to get your client's attention. I believe in providing a work product that is not only error-free and well-written, but designed under the principles of economy of motion. Attention spans are limited and every word should be carefully chosen to create value and further your mission. =Proofreading and Editing= The art of perfecting the grammar, punctuation, and tone of an already-written document, which is ideal for pitch decks, introductory letters, requests for proposals (RFPs) or any collateral intending to solicit interest from another party. While I default to the AP Stylebook, I am comfortable using other style guides on request. =Content Creation= Composing and publishing content to keep your audience in the loop, such as blog posts, social media, and email marketing to notify subscribers of new developments in your industry or at your company. While at ADP I managed a social media platform that reached over 30,000 Time and Labor Management/Payroll clients, writing technical documents and guides that empowered clients and deflected calls into service. =Transcription, editing, and summarization= The art of gleaning actionable information from an audio file. Whether it be a word for word, verbatim transcript, a cleaned copy, or simply summarizing and presenting important points, I am happy to deliver whatever you need to get the job done. Previously, I worked on a large contract for Stanford University in which I applied my subject matter expertise to ensure accuracy on captioning for advanced artificial intelligence/machine learning lectures. Primary qualifications, experience, and notable clients: 🗸 Degree in Computer Science with a minor in English, boasting both technical and composition skills 🗸 11 years of corporate experience at Automatic Data Processing with helpdesk, team lead, and public relations positions 🗸 Represented Time and Attendance Support team on ADP's 'The Bridge' client forum, publishing HRIS technical articles that reached over 10,000 ADP clients, as well as internal-facing ADPWorks site for training ADP Associates 🗸 Current Quality Control editor for Cielo24, editing crowdsourced transcriptions to perfection 🗸 Experience composing content in Microsoft Office and Google Docs, and publishing to WordPress, Mailchimp, Jive, Quora, Facebook, LinkedIn, Medium, and more 🗸 Edited and corrected captions for Stanford University AI/ML content published on YouTube 🗸 Edited pitch decks and investor collateral and composed monthly newsletter for Varys Capital, a respected digital asset venture capital firm 🗸 Content compliance and copy editing services for MPA, Inc., ensuring reports submitted to government agencies are accurate and timely

Since before graduating high school, I have been involved in the technology field. My core competency is in problem-solving, staff training, and technical support, but as the sole contractor in many places, I have expanded into roles in Linux and Windows server Administration, IIS Services, C++ scripting, and Administrative support and budgeting. My professional work experience began as a jack-of-all-trades at the local library, and soon expanded to systems and network administration roles at libraries in nearby towns. I have recently received my B.A. in Business Information Systems, adding to my A.A.S in Microcomputer Support Specialist and A+ Certification.
