A Professional Writer

I just moved to Portland, Oregon and love it! (They lied, it doesn’t rain (much) here as of yet.) Regardless, I’m ready for a change. I’m actively looking for a Creative Management or Creative Writing position. In the meanwhile, I am happy to help anyone with their writing on a project or freelance basis. This month, I helped the Northwest Filmmakers’ Festival promote and tally the Audience Award for its wonderful Feature Films and inspiring Shorts Program. This link is the recent press release that I wrote for two excellent films.

PR Feature Films focusing on Modern Native American Life

Let’s meet for coffee or tea to talk about your available creative position or a project. I love words and love to write, and also enjoy collaborating with a creative crew.

P.S. If your campaign need a creative crew, I know where to find them and will be your Creative Director to get it creatively done on time, on budget! http://www.portlandcreativelist.com/
