Oh hey!

Yes, I have a bachelors degree, and yes it's in communications, journalism, and history [for fun].

With that being said, I like to write, and I like to use the internet.

But how is that beneficial to you?

I have professional training in social media marketing and analysis, which is my main specialty. I know how to use social media outlets [Facebook, Twitter, etc] to the advantange of a company, and how to make it work for you.

I am also trained in corporate and government communications. I have successfully completed an internship with the Government of New Brunswick, and my work can be found at www.gnb.ca/news from the span of January 2012 to March 2012. I have full knowledge of the Canadian Press style of writing and application to news and media releases and advisories. I am able to construct a communications plan, and as well work under pressure in a media crisis [ie Perth-Handover flood crisis]. I actually love media crisis', fun fact.

Oh, but I do journalism, too! Unfortunately, I lack the drive for a hard news story that many journalists possess [at least I'm honest, right?]. For more information, and my portfolio, please contact me.

About me: I'm originally from Halifax, Nova Scotia. I moved to Fredericton, New Brunswick for the journalism program at STU, but felt it wasn't for me so I majored in communications instead. I do like journalism, but I just felt that it wasn't for me. I love to do research on just about anything. I love space, biology, and other nerdy science things. I'm hoping to relocate to a bigger city in the future to establish myself and start a career.
