WORK EXPERIENCE​​

2017-2020

Political Campaign Communication Volunteer

For the 2017-2018 2019-2020 election cycles, I was an unpaid volunteer for several local political campaigns as a communication volunteer.  I helped write and edit letters, and campaign fundraising emails using SEO techniques. I also wrote postcards, direct mail pieces, and text messages. I also made phone calls.  I helped write and review social media and I wrote articles for publications on get out the vote, as well as writing a communication plan for the Weld County Democrats.  In addition, I am a precinct chair for precinct 222.

2009 - 2010​

Columnist for the Greeley  Tribune

For about a year, I had a monthly column In the Greeley Tribune...a blog of sorts, before blogging was a thing.  I could write about anything and everything, and I did.  My particular talent was getting a meaningful piece written in exactly 600 words.

2007-Present​

Teacher

I've spent a good part of the last twenty years in education, most of the time as a teacher.  I enjoyed working with kids and getting them excited about writing and reading and math.  My teaching and education experience gives me keen insight into writing for the education niche.  I also continue to teach as a tutor and substitute.

Prehistory - 2007
Advertising, Marketing, Sales and Radio

There is no truth to the rumor that I came out of the Ark with Noah, but I have been on the planet for a good long while. Therefore, I have a good deal of experience.  Primarily, I worked in publishing - newspaper and magazine.  For about nine years, I was the advertising and marketing  director for Los Angeles Lawyer magazine; and before that, I did nearly everything for a trade publication called Indoor Comfort News...reporting, writing, ad sales, photography...a small operation to be sure. In addition,  I have been a newsletter writer for several local organizations and I worked in radio for a year, writing ad copy for 30 and 60 second spots.
