I am an experienced technical writer and researcher, with a strong interest and substantial experience working on sustainability, environmental justice, and local food issues. I offer superior writing and research skills, an extensive background in written communication to the public and private sectors, and commitment to provide knowledge with clarity. Having recently completed my PhD, and needing the flexibility of freelance work while I raise small children, I am interested in pursuing policy related projects such as research documents and white papers, as well as working with private sector marketing firms and small businesses. Recent projects include publicity as social networking, press releases and media contact, as well as grant proposals and marketing materials.
