Comdial to ensure accuracy in all publications
-Developing newsletter layout and design for the College of
Sciences and Mathematics at James Madison University, as
well as editing the text of the newsletters

James Madison University
I am proficient in

I really appreciate any help and advice anyone could offer
me for finding an entry-level tech writing position in the
Portland area.
I will be in Oregon from March 3-8, and would be happy to
meet with prospective employers during that pre-move trip.
