I have always been a detailed, efficient and quality employee having won a number of awards for my dedication and abilities on the job from IBM, Teppco, Texas Instruments, Xerox and other corporations. While I have worked at a number of major corporations and start-ups, I started freelancing when living in a rural area and fell in love with same. As such, I am hoping to locate a number of exciting assignments through this site as I had with ifreelance.com when creating and writing up a number of original recipes and completing other assignments back in the mid-2000s. Thank you for your interest. I hope to hear from and work with you soon.
