Content Creation and Brand Development

Oct 2022 - April 2023

While I had previous knowledge of search engine optimization, working at an SEO agency transformed the way I approach web content. My position required intense research skills, as I often wrote about complex topics, such as continuous integration software. Learning about advanced keyword research expanded my capabilities as a writer and allowed me to develop a structured system for content creation.

May 2020 - Feb 2021

Under contract work, I designed WordPress websites and wrote web copy for a collection of businesses consisting of MakwaUSA, Makwaden LLC, Arrowhead Incubator, and Wildlife & Wetland Solutions. Until the opportunity ended due to lack of funding, I worked alongside my boss to develop a sustainability program for youth and write copy for his nonprofit that helped Native American businesses receive grants.

Sept 2018 - April 2019

As the writer for the visual and media arts department of Grand Valley, I maintained their WordPress blog with content about current affairs and clubs. I promoted the benefits of different fine art degrees at GVSU by creating short articles that increased engagement of the department's social media pages. I loved writing for them my senior year and wished I could have longer, but the position had to end after graduation.
