Jan 2017 — Present · BOULDER, CO, US
As founder of TRAPDOOR MEDIA, I was a copywriter, developed media, marketing, newsletters, performed content writing, did digital marketing, Emmy winning writer for PBS KIDS, author with Random House, and as well as graphic design (for companies such as ATT, McKesson, EDUCAUSE, Carlton Cards, Soultrader of London, and others). I also worked a number of years for The Chronicle of Higher Education out of DC as a cartoonist, as well as other magazines and newspapers, such as Barons. I have experience with branding, marketing, dig-ital and print media, and I have produced website content, printed material (such as brochures, letters, e-newsletters), as well as social media content, news releases, blog posts, PowerPoints, scripts, and other communicative formats. I am an expert in taking complicated information and translating it into prose that is comprehen-sible to a general audience.
