Writer in Houston, Texas

My name is Bryan Dupont-Gray. I'm 25 years old and currently live in Houston, Texas. Having graduated from the University of Houston’s main campus with a bachelors degree in print journalism, I believe that I can play a vital role in your company’s success. The bulk of my entire career has dealt with writing, managing and editing content in a fast paced environment. I started with University of Houston’s newspaper known as The Daily Cougar, where I began contributing story ideas, working with multiple sections of the paper while keeping an added interest in composing articles for the Life & Arts page. It is here where my gaming coverage took flight. Other tasks also included learning the language of the business and using social media marketing as a way to gauge how our readers are enjoying the content that we produced daily. I trust that these skills specifically can translate smoothly into marketing. I grew to be a leader through section editor roles by managing story ideas given to me by a roster of 15 to 20 writers and crafted page layouts for both print and online using applications such as WordPress, Adobe InDesign and Photoshop. I've learned AP Style during my time as an intern for the Houston Chronicle and freely shared that knowledge with these writers as well. The internship allowed me to show off my skills in covering Houston’s events and writing profile stories of some of its most inspiring and contributing citizens for the Star section. I worked tirelessly under the supervision of Diane Cowen, the food and religion editor, who would note on my attention to detail and the ability to work a task until completion. I believe that the skills that I've obtained thus far in my career can seamlessly flow with editing, writing, content management and marketing roles. I pride myself on consistency, accuracy and being prompt—three attributes that will strongly benefit your needs.
