I’m a writer, working mostly as part of the Business Development team, but I also serve as a writing/editing resource to the rest of the departments in my company. I develop and refine content for proposals, marketing materials, and planning and communication materials; and participate in the solutions development process for proposals and expansion projects.

Exercise your skills on a regular basic … you will open yourself up to new possibilities.

By focusing on the creative elements of writing, that allows me to approach projects with diverse perspectives and an open mind. In turn, this ability has assisted me in developing strong interpersonal relationships with my colleagues and constantly pushes my growth potential within my craft.

Write, read and edit daily. The only way to improve your craft is to exercise your skills on a regular basis. In doing so, you will open yourself up to new possibilities, perspectives and potential.
