I also have additional training in clerical work, web design, and page layout.

My clients have included advertising and media consulting firms, technical consultants, and several beauty salons. I have also edited one novel to date, as well as edited and done layout for a beginning-reading book.

I have about 5 years' experience writing and editing in a news environment as a freelance producer for The Denver Post's website, DenverPost.com. One of my music reviews has been published, as well as several of my photographs.

I have experience with a variety of software tools including Quark Xpress and Adobe Systems' Creative Suite. I also have experience with a variety of web-related technologies, including Joomla, Wordpress, LAMP (software bundle) servers and PHP.

I occasionally find time to work on my personal and professional websites, the first of which was coded, and has been maintained, entirely by hand using Microsoft Notepad. I used Dreamweaver for more recent versions of my website which were all raw PHP, and have recently switched to Wordpress.
