Objective

·My objective is to find a long-term engagement with one or more companies on a freelance basis. It is also a possibility that a part-time in-house position in the Phoenix area could be considered. I would enjoy working in a dispensary environment helping other patients.

Skills & Abilities

Management

·I have held several management positions in my working years in various industries. I am a project manager for small writing projects and have managed various restaurants with great success. Attention to detail, managing inventory and ensuring employee safety are some of my greatest management strengths. I also excel under pressure and think quickly to resolve situations.

Sales

·I sell my own skills to potential clients on a daily basis. I do have strong communication skills and have the ability to “sell ice to an Eskimo”, which was proven when I was a shipping and receiving clerk that made sales when performing other job duties at a saddlery company in Ohio.

·I do write sales copy, press releases and other sales type content for several clients on a regular basis. It is my duty to stay up-to-date on the latest trends in sales copy. I adjust my writing style to fit these trends to maximize a positive reaction from the general public to increase sales and the success of a company.

Communication

·I do have strong communication skills. I have the ability to read tones through words and facial expressions and adjust my tone accordingly to ensure that the client or employees are comfortable. It is a strength of mine to remain calm in tone, no matter how escalated a situation becomes, and do my best to resolve it quickly with a pleasant tone and carefully chosen words.

·When it comes to a topic that I am passionate about, such as medical marijuana, I can speak for days about how much it has helped me. I am quite educated in the medical marijuana industry and speak with an uplifting, excited tone to help educate friends, family and strangers about the benefits of this plant.

Leadership

·I am a natural born leader. At the same time, I can follow as well. That is what being a great leader requires. As a freelance writer and writing project manager, we come across strict deadlines, sometimes those seem impossible. With my creative leadership skills, deadlines are always met.

Experience

I have maintained 4-star status for the last 2 years and am part of 46 teams. Teams are created for high-volume or particular clients that require specific expertise, writing abilities and the ability to follow directions.

·While I do work for several content mills, I also work independently. Each day I browse available writing jobs and short-term gigs to determine which situations are best for my schedule and abilities. I pitch my skills to clients and use my sales/organizational skills to secure clients.
