Helping Organizations Improve Their Presence Online:
I have a background in print and online journalism, years of experience in content writing, blogging, and closely following social media marketing trends. I also know html, css, and php, so working closely with web programmers is no problem. I've been a lifelong Mac user.
I've lived and volunteered in different parts of South America and love speaking Spanish. Since moving to Israel, my Hebrew has become fluent - that is, I understand fluently but I'm not sure about the reverse :)
Outside of the office, I like practicing yoga and playing basketball.
