Fundamental building blocks of writing and marketing to help your brand blossom
My first day of class as a Freshman at the University of Iowa was humbling. I had an introductory rhetoric course and I took a calculator, assuming it was quantitative subject matter. I went to the instructor after that class and told him I was concerned I was too far behind my peers and that I didn't think I belonged in college as a first-generation college student. After he provided me with some much needed encouragement, I sunk my talons into the subject matter. I became fascinated with using various mediums to persuade.
That was nearly twelve years ago.
Today my passion for persuasion has manifest in two main forms. I love writing in a way that captivates audiences and entices conversions and I truly relish the challenge of maintaining and building reputations of brands through a variety of marketing principles.
I am 30 years old with an undergraduate degree in communication studies from the University of Iowa and will complete a master of science degree in communications from Purdue University in May of 2016. I have worked for companies large and small, from professional baseball teams, to small non profits, all the way up to a multinational corporation. I'm currently employed full-time as a marketer for one of the largest professional associations in the United States, focusing on member retention initiatives.
I'm a firm believer that effective writing is one of the chief ways for organizations large and small to meet their goals. I relish any opportunity that I get to bolster that point.
Work Terms
I have a full-time job between the hours of 8:30 AM - 4 PM CT. I am more than happy to take a lunch hour at a convenient time to speak with clients if it is most convenient for them to do so within those hours.
I have a 3 hour train commute daily which allows me a good amount of time to do work for clients, and I also am available when I get home to complete work. I am happy to respond to calls or emails until 10 PM CT.
Time management has never been an issue and I am more than happy to put in whatever time is necessary to ensure my clients are 100% satisfied!
