New York, New York | Copy Editor, Writer
I'M k-mart
Background:
:: Baylor University BFA, 2013 - theatre performance major / journalism minor (summa cum laude).
:: I have a keen editing eye, confidence in engaging others and am masterful at small talk.
:: I have 7+ years experience in editing, proofreading, writing and blogging. (Not including prior
years of writing and HTML experience via my personal Xanga, the beloved online diary medium.)
Experience:
:: I've written for non-profits such as American Red Cross & Young Life and helped develop their
online social presences. I've also written theatre reviews and spent 6 years in the world of sports.
:: Two years ago, I added to my resume the role of Content and Social Media Manager. I manage
a content calendar and curate copy to be tailored across all relevant social platforms.
:: I also have experience as a Brand Development Copywriter. I work alongside clients to learn their
voice so I can best curate creative content for use on their websites and across social.
:: Skills: Photoshop, Indesign, Final Cut Pro, Storify, Blogger, Wix, HTML (the Xanga), etc.
:: I'm also heavy into Tex-mex and a superb wedding singer. Demo avail upon request. ;)
I love creating & I love creators.
:: I seek to open doors for the expression of others. Simplify others' lives.
Amplify their creative niches while broadening their impact.
The gist:
:: As Dallas Green of the band City & Colour might put it, I'm a grand optimist.
:: I have a "senior class secretary" work ethic with a "sorority skit committee" creativity.
:: I am a detailed, smart worker with an inability to leave a project undone.
:: I'm a team player - no task is too small.
:: And I am fueled by queso.
n. A copy editor / writer / performer from a family full of communicators. This fueled a desire to be heard and to help others be heard, so I found my two avenues:
PERFORMING and WRITING. Which then led to a third: EDITING.
