SKILLS

  • Social media. To understand it, you must live it: I tweet before I get out of bed.
  • Early Adopter. If you have a project in beta, I’ve probably already signed up for it.
  • Information Curator. I scour the interwebs 24/7 for the latest technology and social media news. I share the best with my social peers.
  • Organization. I really like to get things done. And, if it involves a spreadsheet, even better.
  • Public speaking. I’m not be a karaoke fan, but I’m not afraid to speak up or make presentations.
  • I’m a ‘connector.’ I like to bring people together who I think will work well together. It’s intuition.
  • Graphic design. I bring a keen sense of awareness to design, always keeping in mind the message and who the audience is.
  • Quick learner. I pick up new things – including scary newspaper pagination software – quickly.
  • Web coding. It’s been a while, but I still like to get my hands dirty with some HTML and digging into APIs.
  • Teaching. It comes natural to me and I love sharing my knowledge with others.
  • Video. I’ve been trained to shoot and edit video for the web. I would love to do more of this.
