Of course you do!  Why wouldn’t you?  Don’t answer that. (LinkedIn Profile)

I am currently looking for freelance work in any and/or all of the following: writing, blogging, copy writing, editing, social media.  If there is food involved, I am more likely to accept. If there is wine involved, you need not say more, count me in.

For the past year, I have managed my personal blog, Half and Half, where I write and post original, funny content about the daily musings of a working professional female.  I strive to produce content that is relatable, humorous, and above all, entertaining to the reader.  I target posts specifically for my audience, and set regular goals to attain to constantly improve, maintain, and grow my blog following.

Creating humorous content daily, outside of my current, full-time job acts as a creative outlet for my thoughts.   I also post a lot of pictures of myself from middle school, which is probably why I am still single. Basically, if you paid me to do this, I’d wake up with a smile on my face Monday-Sunday, and maybe be able to eat something other than cereal for dinner.

I am a spritely, easy-going, professional girl looking to obtain a job doing what I love.  This blog is run off a devotion and an immense passion for writing, and without it, my thoughts and questions would go unanswered, and my brain would explode (also, I’m very skilled in hyperbole).  I work extremely hard to keep this site running, funny, and unique, and doing so in exchange for monetary compensation would only sweeten the pot. A lot.

I am confident that I would be a wonderful asset and addition to your company, whether it be for a day, a week, or a year.  I’m also pretty athletic, so if you have a company softball team, I could help you out with a few base hits, too.  For references, please contact my mother, my father, or anyone who I have not scorned over my lifetime and will give me a positive, glowing review.  Inquire within.

Objective

Highly motivated, self-starter looking to foster personal and professional growth within writing, publishing, editing. Offering over four years of practice, including two years of writing a personal blog maintaining viewership of over one thousand followers.  Additional experience includes developing Facebook content for client promotional campaigns, freelance copywriting on various event invitations.  References and writing samples of other work will be provided upon request.
