I am loyal and hardworking self-driven and eager to go the extra mile or two, not someone to back down from a challenge and don’t work office hours so if I need to sit and put in extra time to have a job done then so be it. Not a clock watcher kind off employee…

Hello, My name is Brittany Croley or "Britt Britt" as my family calls me. I may be young, but I have a very professional attitude when it comes to building upon my experience as a Freelance Writer and photographer. I was introduced to writing and photography by my dad at a very young age. Being that I was introduced at such a young age I do have lots of personal experience. I Love photography and will always give 100% to my performance as a Freelance Photographer. When it comes to writing speeches as well as other forms of writing I will always be compassionate and devoted to what I am writing. The way I was raised was to always have a positive attitude, care about others, always try to help and don't do anything unless you are prepared to give it 100% therefore I promise to give it my all. Thank you and I look forward to working with you or for you. Thanks, Brittany Croley
