I'm an
Individual
It was Albert Einstein who suggested that the world we have created is a product of our thinking and it cannot be changed without changing the way we think. I believe in engagement with my community, in supporting the growth of individuals who seek to better themselves, and in using my carefully and consciously cultivated digital and media skills - speaking, writing, editing, managing social media plans - to make better the world around me. I have worked in many areas: writing and editing, community radio, English teaching and tutoring, technical editing, medical fields, community development, human resources, community management, non-profit, and public speaking. My education is in Community & Regional Development (emphasis in social services, policy and planning, writing intensive), with a minor in Sociology. I have two years as a campus community center program developer and coordinator, have worked as a PEACE (Peer Education And Community Empowerment) trainer, and I spent two years as an Americorp member. I've also spent 4 years writing for online publications (Mic....., DLVGlobal, TheMillenialVibe....., and, most recently, YellowScene..... and the Westword), identifying, developing and publishing short and long form pieces. Lastly, my freelance technical editing, social media plan development, social media experience, PhD editing, and Final Cut Pro video and sound editing work qualify me for many varied and nuanced roles. My experience speaks to the many demands and skills that this position would entail. I have the passion, experience, skills, motivation, and the academic background to be an asset to those this program serves. My goal is to participate in creating positive change in our world. My work ethic and personal experience will be a benefit to you and, more importantly, to those who depend on us. I am looking forward to the opportunity to work with and for the communities that depend on our creativity and thought. Thank you for your consideration.
