    As a magna cum laude graduate with a Bachelor of Arts in News/Mass Media and a certificate in Psychology, I bring a well-rounded perspective to content creation, editing, and management. My career has been defined by a deep commitment to delivering high-quality, engaging, and accurate content. Early in my career, I honed my skills as an intern, staff writer, photographer, and editor for newspapers and magazines, followed by several fulfilling years dedicated to raising my family. Upon re-entering the workforce, I embraced freelance opportunities, gaining over three years of experience as an editor and content manager. Highlights of my experience include: Content Management and Editing: At Advanced Recovery Systems, I edited medical articles on addiction and mental health, adhering to AP Style, ensuring accuracy, and optimizing readability. I also collaborated on AI-generated content and formatted it to meet brand standards. Team Leadership: As an editor and content manager for multiple websites, I have guided a team of writers, developed outlines, managed publishing processes, and overseen social media content creation. Creative Projects: My work spans designing online journals, building complex courses, and publishing YouTube and social media content. Scriptwriting and Marketing: Currently, I collaborate with a marketing team to write scripts, product pages, and sales pages, combining AI-driven research with creative storytelling. I am proficient in tools and platforms such as Adobe Photoshop, AP Style Writing, Canva, ChatGPT, Google Docs, Meta Business Suite, WordPress, and more. My adaptability to emerging technologies and trends has been instrumental in navigating today’s dynamic digital landscape. I am passionate about creating content that resonates with target audiences and provides a fulfilling user experience. With my attention to detail, enthusiasm for collaboration, and dedication to excellence, I am committed to making a meaningful impact on any project I take on.
