strong skills in

I have ample experience writing and editing copy for the medical and textile industry, with
additional experience spearheading

I've had lots of amazing and diverse experiences as a tutor, editor, and writer - I also have professional experience with social media outreach and market research. I am an enthusiastic problem solver and I love to make people smile.

"When Caroline joined Coldwater Creek as a proofreader for digital and print collateral, I knew immediately that she was going to be a valuable addition to the team. Her meticulous attention to detail and keen eagle eye caught the attention of all who worked with her. But then, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that her skills did not stop at exceptional proofreading. When given the opportunity to try her hand at writing promotional emails, she wowed clean, concise, impactful copy paired with subject lines that begged to be opened. I would be truly honored to have the chance to work with Caroline again."

If you watched these attacks from space,
they would seem so small.
Imperfections on a beautiful face,
you might not see them at all.
But the repercussions are relentless,
and once the shockwaves start,
smoke stings the blindest eyes of justice,
the shrapnel cuts every heart.
Because sadness shakes the strongest will,
fear cuts the thickest skin.
The despair spurs it deeper still,
and anger drives it in.
So the world cries out that it's not right,
hate throws salt on the wounds.
As darkness seems to trump the light,
and the forecast spells our doom.
Yet bravery cleans the salty maw,
and kindness curbs the pain;
the selflessness of those who saw
their efforts not in vain.
For heros are not just the grand,
who save the lives of masses;
they're those who lend their own two hands
when the world around them crashes.
Too many times we're filled with hate
at those who break our stride.
Too many times we must placate
the families of those who died.
So though patriotism springs aplenty,
a shame it must be done:
Why it always takes the loss of many
to make us feel like one.
