I am a Creative Marketing Writer at Administaff in Kingwood, Texas, and a proud member of Generation Y.
Prior to becoming an HR writer, I was an Associate Editor at two business-to-business magazines in Southern California, and an Assistant Web Content Producer for a Gannett Company, Inc. newspaper in New York. At both jobs I helped the company further develop an online presence and grow Web site content and user traffic.
Ever since I had an e-mail pen pal in seventh grade, I've been obsessed with the Internet. I view it as the future of everything--writing, reading, business, marketing, human resources, etc. So I've always tried to keep myself involved with it, whether that be in my job or in my personal time, and I take advantage of every Web training course I can find. For me, learning as much as I can about the Internet is key to my continued success.
Recently, I've also been especially interested in blogging and its impact on society. Blogging is such a new concept, but I see it growing into the media outlet of the future. I read several blogs on a daily basis, and look forward to writing more posts for my HRTools blog, "Generation Y."
I have a Bachelor’s in Journalism and Public Relations from Utica College, and have been writing since I was old enough to hold a pencil. I’ve published hundreds of articles in national and local magazines and newspapers, and have had my own column twice. I also have almost 25 years experience being Generation Y.
When I’m not blogging and producing content for HRTools.com, I read every book about writing I can get my hands on, I take creative writing workshops, I freelance, and I volunteer in my community through Administaff.
