Marketing and communications professionals require a unique combination of skills spanning graphic design, copy development, proofreading, research, workflow coordination, and more – the skillset I have demonstrated throughout my career and have used to generate significant contributions for my employers.
Allow me to present some of those contributions:
Conceptualizing, designing, and producing award-winning designs for special section covers;
Developing new products, generating story ideas and planning design and editorial calendars;
Expanding my communications skills with courses in HTML, InDesign, FrontPage, and DreamWeaver;
Volunteering to design and maintain Web sites associated with Citizens for Humane Action Animal Shelter (CHA) fundraising and public relations events;
Streamlining (CHA) animal shelter general information materials and developing a consistent format;
Beating tight deadlines in environments characterized by immense workloads and changing priorities;
Developing first-time training tools used as on-the-job references and new-hire orientation guides;
Achieving one of the best accuracy rates leading to increased responsibility and accountability;
Providing ad hoc support to cross-functional groups in the areas of editorial and proofreading.
In addition, I have been recognized for taking responsibility for my own advancement through self-training, and have been fortunate to be selected to attend advanced graphics and PowerPoint training. Through each of my professional engagements I have learned from the successes of others, shared my own techniques, and participated in best practice identification. I have also been recognized for my instructional skills, being selected to train new team members on internal processes, procedures and systems.
