Accolades
2020 | Northeast Ohio Year of the Nurse website
The World Health Organization declared 2020 as the Year of the Nurse and Midwife. The website shared a new nursing story every day of 2020 in one of two formats, narrative or short video. All submissions were reviewed by a nurse-led committee to ensure no personal health information was disclosed. I was in charge of editing and processing each narrative and video submission. I reviewed and published all entries to the website, and ensured each day’s post ran successfully.

Writing Style
Once a reporter…I tend to stick to AP Style in most of my writing. My apologies to fans of the Oxford Comma. I have experience adapting to client-specific styles. I would love the opportunity to develop a style guide!
