Brief Summary
For years now, I have had this traditional resume that had nothing but Sales on it. I hate Sales. Graphic Designer / Writer / Blogger, Linguist, and Ex Hip Hop Dance Instructor, you need me. No, I do not have a degree just yet, but I have the perfect set of skills to help out just about any company not as an employee, but as an Independent Contractor. Along with what I’ve listed, I am also a very technologically-based person. I’m an Apple Enthusiast who loves all types of gadgets. I live on Mac, but also know Windows, everything from setting them up to getting the new owner up-and-running. I also do Admin-type work. Basically, anything you need done that corresponds with any of the above specified can be directly outsourced to yes, myself as a Freelancer. Last but not least, I also do promotions and research and can serve as PR.
