    Thank you for visiting my profile. I have had the pleasure of being on Upwork since 2014. I am a full-time freelancer with 18 years of journalism experience, 17 years of editing experience (largely Associated Press style), 15 years of digital editing experience (including intermediate HTML coding), seven years in mid-level management roles (largely for magazines and publishing teams) and 24 years of social media experience. From part-time freelancer to full-time freelancer, I am grateful for any invite I receive. However, transparency is the best way to find suitable candidates (and long-term) clients. These HOURLY-ONLY jobs are the kinds of projects that make me leap to my laptop to apply: * Financial literacy and financial news copy (editing and writing) * Legal copy (editing and writing) * Real estate copy (editing and writing) * K-12 literature and books (LOVE African- and African-American history books) * Adult-education books and tech tutorials (editing finance/investing and real estate books are my favorites) * National and world news, political news (editing, fact-checking, writing) * Dog-related content of any kind (editing and writing) * Healthy eating and nutrition topics that focus on veganism and vegetarianism (editing and writing) Ideal Client: My CliftonStrengths results are Achiever, Command, Executor and Influencer, meaning I excel in leadership positions with minimal supervision. I thrive in virtual work environments with serious clients who are deadline-driven and ready to start! My long-term clients are quite fond of Upwork Messenger, Slack, Asana, Loom and/or email as a primary way to connect. They almost always (as in 99% of the time) have the same outlook as Mark Cuban regarding long/daily meetings; if it's not absolutely necessary, we rarely if ever have them. Does that describe you? I'd love to hear from you then.

    I have spent my career being a right-hand to leadership at growth-stage B2B technology start-ups across various industries. A common theme among these organizations were their approaches in disrupting their relative industries through innovation and collaboration. I think my extensive time working closely with leadership in extremely cross-functional roles (that ultimately turned me into a Jill-of-All-Trades) makes me uniquely suited for this role. In my previous roles, supporting both a Chief Executive Officer and other C-Suite executives, I have implemented and drove our teams' operational flow. I aim to create cohesion among the senior leadership to build a foundation of trust and inspire engagement in the corporate vision at all company levels. I strive for innovation by collaboration and aim to translate a strategic vision into action. Throughout my career, I have learned that organizations (especially young ones) need someone to build a structure and create processes and efficiencies at the top. I maintain adherence to timelines, budgets, and strategic planning around leaders' time to allow big thinkers to focus on being and doing better. As a trusted right-hand, I excel at maintaining strategic control of the leader's time and commitments. I act as a gatekeeper to triage problems before my leader even realizes there is a problem and allowing them to focus on what's most important to the company and vision without distraction. I also know when to bring pertinent issues to my leader's attention efficiently with thoughtful guidance.

    Asha is a passionate healthcare/health communications professional who loves promoting and improving a community's health and quality of life through communication, education, and empowerment. She seeks to advocate for and adequately educate future patients/individuals through the written word. Eventually, she hopes to build a community that is passionate about utilizing health education as empowerment in order to become better self-advocates. . . . Born and raised in the South Shore neighborhood of Chicago, IL, Asha first and foremost loves her Lake Michigan and Chicago Bears. Being a product of Whitney Young Magnet High School, she has always had an affinity for both the arts and the biological sciences. By high school graduation, Asha had extensive experience in both modern and classical forms of dance, classical piano and writing. This was in addition to considerable familiarity with the workflow of the General Medicine Clinic, Occupational Medicine Clinic and the Short Stay Unit at Cook County Hospital. She found her love for physical fitness while leading her track and field team to four consecutive city championships; thus fueling her desire to continue running while attending Hampton University. Majoring in Biology at Hampton University only increased her desire to become more involved in a holistic approach to health, wellness, and medicine. Outside of academics, Asha mainly gravitated toward activities that allowed her to encourage, educate and sincerely connect with people. After learning how to advocate for herself, Asha strongly believes that knowledge and education can empower people to engage in productive communication.
