Portfolio and CV
Projects can be Accessed on the Header bar on the Home Page
In addition to graduating with Honors from a top 100 University, I've had considerable work experience in the Communications field. My Independent Portfolio, ranging from work with the BECE in the Ghanaian Asare Opong School district, to providing Public Relations for a Gaming studio, is available above on the Header Bar, but each piece has a summary Below. Following is my CV, the highlights of my career and my three major contributions to Communications via fieldwork.
Asare Opong School District Project
Technical Editing and Review should be a regular process for your Company or Party's media, collateral and projects. Everything from Employee Handbooks to Presentations benefit from a professional overhaul by a technical editor and PR specialist (both Comms qualifications).
Communications Cutover Recommendations (Cricket/Hargray)
After the sale of Hargray's Cellular network to Cricket Communications there were a number of issues noted. A recommendation report is a professional way to bring a project's successes and failures to upper management's attention.
Ethical Review, Consent Forms
Consent is an incredibly important part of scientific research. All research stands for peer review, but methodology in particular should undergo regular scrutiny. An Ethical Review is a great way to raise the standards of your Corporation or Party, and any project can benefit.
Backgrounder Wes Shumar
Similar to Boilerplate statements, Backgrounders are important portions of your Company or Party's Media Packets. They provide highlights and answer Frequently Asked Questions, providing the media with a polished understanding of your Officer.
Press Release We Are Bots Studios
In addition to updating their Press Kit I had the pleasure of helping We Are Bots, a Paris based gaming studio, create a Press Release for their launch of Drift Into Eternity. Press Releases are a professional and standardized way of letting editors in your field know that there is an event going on and inviting them to write about it, or contact you.

Without Marketing
Anne Jindra (Public Relations)
I didn't go to school for programming (ok, I did, but after one too many edits errors I realized parsing errors were not for me, and changed course). I went for Communications. I specialize in internet sales.
I've studied it, taught it, and done it. Then I started doing the same thing that you do; I went into business. After banging my head against one too many bosses with less education, less motivation, and less vision than I had, I just went out and did it. And I love it.
So, here we are, me writing a Press Release and you reading it. (That's what this is by the way, and you should have one - you send it to every media outlet or site when you launch your product, or re-launch it, and find media outlets that you missed).
I used to tell my hiring managers that the easiest thing in the world to hire for is sales. If you want to hire the person, do it, that's their sale. So if you read this, you know it works, and you're going to lose your mind when you see what I just did here get applied to the internet, and your business.
I'll add one thing you won't see in a Press Kit, which is my pay scale. I work at a flat rate to manage kits, contacts and channels (my lowest package is $50 a month) - until you get your sales bump. Once your sales rates go up by 25% (i.e. you start making 25 percent more sales than you were before I worked for you) then I earn a commission of 10%, moving forward.
​
About the Strategy:
I do a content overview where I review every aspect of your company that produces media - the kits you send out, your websites, and the content on your social media channels. I don't program (see the above for how I feel about coding), I recommend, or change, content and style- depending on my access levels.
Once you've reviewed my media recommendations (your first $50 month) you select where you'd like your points allocated. Do you want one media stream (like Facebook or Twitter) managed so you can see what happens? Or do you want periodic updates across all of them, including your press kits. Take your pick, I don't really get paid until you do.
