I am currently a MBA student and hold a B.A. in Technical Writing Business Communications. I have experience writing manuals, RFP responses, business plans, creative writing articles and putting together marketing materials. I have worked in the engineering, retail and computer hosting industries, but as a new mother and student I feel it is time to work on my own. I enjoy keeping things new and love a challenge, so the prospect of working on projects that are constantly changing in varying types of industries excites me. I am hard working individual and I am confident that I can make your vision a reality.
