ABOUT KATHRYN SHARKEY
The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom.\"- Isaac AsimovWith 15 years of communications experience, I’ve enjoyed building a dynamic career spanning journalism, film production, digital media, and editorial work. I’ve delved into multimedia journalism, covering everything from general assignments to my particular interest, healthcare. Within digital media, I’ve created engaging social media strategies and content that builds and resonates with diverse audiences. My editorial background as a copy editor and fact-checker has honed my writing and editing skills, giving me a strong foundation in both digital and traditional media. Whether working on film sets or crafting compelling digital campaigns, my varied roles have given me the adaptability, versatility, and creativity needed to excel in fast-paced, dynamic communication environments.I’m passionate about producing high-quality content that educates, connects, and uplifts audiences across various platforms. As a communications manager, I plan, research, and write articles and create other communications content to build brand visibility and engagement. This includes conducting interviews, transcribing, writing, editing, proofreading, maintaining and following style guides, and uploading content to various content management systems and publishing platforms. I thrive in environments that utilize my analytical and creative thinking skills to solve problems and meet tight deadlines. Collaboration is something I truly value, and I’ve had the pleasure of working with diverse teams in person and remotely. I’m proud of previous projects that coordinated with multiple disciplines to create unique content, such as working with a photo agency to create an interactive photo gallery for a live installation and website as part of a social media campaign focused on human rights issues. When I’m not at work, you’ll find me in creative spaces—painting, drawing, or dancing—always looking for new ways to express myself and connect with others.Freelance services include: Writing, Copy-editing, Proofreading, Research
