Social Media Guide

As part of a class focused on successful utilization of social media for professional organizations (in this class’s case, a nonprofit organization), me and a group of four other students produced a social media guidebook for the organization’s use after our work with them had finished. Another student an myself were responsible for the Instagram section of the guidebook.

 

Electronic Editing

During my time at the University of Delaware, I took a class on editing a wide range of documents – from simple text-only documents like press releases or memos to more complex ones like newspaper articles and web sites. For electronic editing, the class primarily focused on how to edit documents in Microsoft Word and Adobe Acrobat. The document linked above shows my skills in using Word to edit documents as well as my understanding of more advanced Word techniques and uses, such as creating and using custom Styles and using Word’s Review and Track Changes features.
