Professional Profile

Mission Statement:

I believe that I have strong skills in research, writing and editing as well as a growing strength in verbal communication. As a professional:
• I want to put these skills to good use, whether through writing original material or editing that of others.
• I want to produce strong, properly-written, quality works for whatever field I enter.

Evaluation:

I have many finely-honed skills in both writing and editing. I have an innate sense of how to use such things as tenses, vocabulary, and parallel structure to create succinct and convincing writing. I also possess the ability to create many different types of writing – research papers, advertisements, film scripts, and so on – and I can effectively present different styles to different audiences, simple or formal.

Support:

As a young student, I have not yet had much experience outside the classroom, but soon I will be expanding. An example of some of the work I have done is at the Paper Discovery Center, a museum I worked at in 2008. Among assisting the in creation of weekly exhibits, I created explanations on trebuchets and wasp nests for the benefit of the museum patrons.

I also currently work at the Alverno college library, where my knowledge of books and writing is frequently used to process materials and help patrons. In addition, I’ve created and refurbished several signs to assist students and workers with the library’s technology.
