I have been a professional librarian since 2006 and hold a Masters in Library and Information Science (MLIS) and am a certified Archivist and Records Manager. In my 15 year career, I have worked in academic, public, and private libraries, and have answered thousands of research questions. Now, I love working for YOU. UpWork is the place where I can spend personalized time on research projects without the added responsibilities of staff meetings, budgets, etc. I excel at web research and know many hidden places to look for information. Additionally, I have access to a variety of academic databases and even if I can't find your answer, I excel in pointing people in the right direction. I also love developing research strategies for projects and setting up spreadsheets and methodology, which means I can often develop projects that can get taken over by non-experts. I consider myself a research expert and charge as such. However, I am flexible with rates depending on length of project and desired outcome. I look forward to hearing from you!

Now, I'm looking to find new and exciting ways to offer my skills and experience by providing my clients with well researched and carefully crafted content to suit any need. From legal research and document drafting to historical essays, creative content and political analysis, I can cover it all. I look forward to working with you soon.

I have twenty-five years experience in a variety of fields. Many of those years were spent as an historic archeologist, which is a big word but translates to knowledge and skills in research, history, data science, technical writing, statistics, and analysis. My job titles express the variety of my skills-- from technician, researcher, report author, project director, principal archeologist, and lab director. Later I became a Data Analyst for a government agency, with a focus on operations, data mining, analysis, and projections for efficiency. Finally, I was hired as a data manager for a nonprofit, helping them consolidate data needs, and render more actionable insights from their data in a secure way. I am also a creative writer, with a focus on historic fiction and horror, in the formats of short stories, novels, and scripts. I am fluent in Excel, online research, physical research (books, articles, gray literature, deeds, census), Word, and some experience in GIS\CAD. I am highly skilled in Access, and competent in MySQL, Tableau, and various reporting systems including Google Design Studio. I am fluent in Google Documents and Sheets. I consider myself a Generalist, not a Specialist. I am comfortable in learning new skills and systems, and in diving into dirty data. Because I am a Generalist, most consider me an Interpreter--one who can explain to diverse parties in a pidgin language so they can understand each other in their own terms. This makes me an excellent team player, and I've never had team conflicts. What I most love, beyond learning and developing a new skill, is helping others find their "aha" moments. To make clear, whether it be via a chart or connection not previously recognized, that they are on the right path to future success, or where that right path might lie in relation to where they are today. I'm looking forward to working with you!

Hello everyone! My name is Daniel and I am a freelance travel writer/blogger hoping to ignite your audience's adventurous spirit to see more of this wonderful world we call home. My personal inspiration was a five day vacation to Iceland while I was working at a regular job in New York City. Witnessing majestic waterfalls, the enchanting Northern Lights and mesmerizing black sand beaches made me want to travel the world at a much higher pace. Fast forward to the present and I have visited 15 countries and the list will continue to grow. My goal is to inspire others to pursue their own travel dreams by sharing my adventurous tales, providing travel tips, highlighting beautiful destinations and anything else that can help others plan a life-changing trip of their own. I would love the opportunity to provide content for your audience and help them discover where their next trip will take them.

This guy is a lifelong amateur photographer and vintage photo guru with extensive experience in photo cleanup/restoration and image retouching/editing, as well as decent experience in largely photo-based art and graphics design/creation, and image compositing. For all of that, Adobe Photoshop is my tool of choice. Please note that I am not merely technically adept at this kind of work: it's a pursuit of passion for me. Each image is unique, and each requires an equally unique approach and level of care and attention; especially the vintage, historical photos for which I have great affinity. And most especially those precious old treasures that we keep safe in our family photo albums. Similar to the photo and image work, I've also been researching military aviation history for most of my fifty-plus years, and writing about it on websites, blogs, and in small, mostly local publications for more than thirty. This is another strong passion of mine, and I consider it more of a calling. Though my research/writing experience runs largely along that specialized vein, I have also tackled other topics, both historical and contemporary. In addition, I've done a bit of writing and some small amount of artwork inspired by my love of the Star Wars universe. Yeah, go ahead, call me a nerd. I wear that badge with pride and honor. Though I no longer regularly work in 'traditional' art mediums, I have in the past put many a pencil and brush to paper, wood, and other surfaces, and was at one time a hardcore model builder. Despite rarely engaging in these latter pursuits these days, I may put some'a that kinda stuff in my portfolio here and there, just for the heckuvit.
