My passion is writing which, combined with my analytic skills, I was able to begin to explore during my years of experience in the legal office and more specifically, as a paralegal in writing letters of advice and instruction.
Most recently, my role as Social Media & Marketing Coordinator in Whistler, Canada, which spanned two years, exposed me to digital, social media and content marketing for the tourism industry at one of the world's largest ski resorts, and this role ignited my creativity. I thrived in all of the aspects of this role which included writing articles; creating slogans; writing web descriptions and catchy phrases; designing innovative email campaigns, banners, brochures; and managing social media accounts. I was also exposed to methods of tracking and reporting, digital marketing campaigns, and online reputation management techniques.
With my experience in legal assistance and customer service fields, combined with the tasks and projects I championed during my recent marketing role, I have fine-tuned both my written and verbal communication skills. I am self-motivated, efficient, and enjoy using my initiative and creativity to achieve goals and innovate.
I look forward to working with you in creating innovative and compelling content, building your brand presence and driving sales to your business.

Over the past few years technology has leaped ahead at a tremendous rate. Only a few years ago what was a fraction of our daily lives has now become a predominant part of everyday social interaction. With this change our society has been slow to adapt specifically in the area of law.

I believe that as companies are adjusting to the increased need for technology related services, I can work with them to provide these services.
