I am a Freelance Writer from the United States. My experience includes research, creating SEO content, developing marketing materials, and creating blog posts. My areas of expertise are in food and beverage, arts, culture, real estate, and women's health. I also have extensive experience in hospitality operations and marketing. I've created numerous training programs, brand guides, curated over 60 beverage programs, and developed policies and procedures for small businesses. I've spent the last 12 years conceptualizing and building small businesses in the Southeast of the United States successfully. My "soft skills" are that I am self-motivated, solution-driven, have excellent communication abilities, and enjoy problem-solving.
