The Real Deal

I am what they call a "jack of all trades." I am a freelance content writer and social media manager who creates branded content posts and blog articles for small businesses in local communities. I have over four years of experience writing content articles in the Buffalo and Rochester, New York communities. I also have two years of experience managing social media accounts for small organizations. The work I have produced has impacted the growth of followers and engagements on multiple social media platforms.

In addition, I have over eight experience in media production dating back to 2013. My background focuses on television and radio broadcasting, sound engineering, audio recording production, video editing/production, music, digital/social media management, and writing.
