Bio

A self-employed freelancer for the past 11 years, I am disciplined, resourceful and comfortable working from home. As noted in my resume, I have a wide range of experience in writing as well as sales and marketing in various fields. With decades of study in psychology and human potential, I have an especially strong portfolio in the personal transformation arena. Before owing my own copywriting business I spent a few years writing marketing communications for an international seminar company, and prior to that I co-owned a graphic design and communications business. My most recent gig was working with keynote speaker/author Dr. John Izzo. As John's right arm for 6 years, I was responsible for virtually managing all of his administrative requirements including calendar, research, creating/editing blogs via Wordpress, building an active presence on social media and creating valuable content-rich email communication for the database. I also assisted with marketing initiatives and played an active role in fostering client relationships and liaising with Speakers Bureaus. While the Speakers Bureaus were mostly responsible for booking Dr. John Izzo’s keynotes, I played a key role in pitching John in cases where the clients contacted us directly. One particular client that I went the full nine yards with was Qantas Air. John’s meeting with them resulted in the biggest contract of his career generating over a million dollars in revenue. I’ve also had extensive past sales experience. These positions included selling both tangibles and intangibles as noted in my attached resume. During my position as sales rep for Edmonton Telephones (currently TELUS), I consistently achieved top sales results and exceeded quotas and won several awards for top sales professional. One of my top passions is dreaming up projects destined to inspire, illuminate and entertain.
