What I'm looking for

I seek a role leveraging digital content, SEO, and data analysis to drive audience growth, apply investigative reporting skills, and collaborate in a results-oriented, digitally focused team.

I am an experienced business professional specializing in digital content, journalism, and security-processing operations. I have produced hard, feature, political and advertising stories for print and online audiences, helped a legacy paper grow print purchases and online views, and developed digital strategies that added over 1,000 daily viewers to a local news site's traffic.

I bring content and technical writing, SEO, Google Analytics, photography, live-stream coordination, fact-checking and clearance-processing experience that improved operational throughput by 80% during COVID at a nuclear facility. I am proactive, detail-oriented, and eager to apply investigative reporting and digital-marketing skills to roles that value accuracy and measurable audience growth.
