Specialist in iOS devices at the Domain, store 216. Currently undergoing small device certification for iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad. Additionally I can offer expertise in Macs. I have been a lifelong Apple evangelist and it is a dream come true for me to work for this company. 

Freelance copywriter, editor and creative marketing consultant. Clients include QA3, OJM Group, Guardian Publishing, Gaucho, Robb Smith Financial, and Our Lady of Mount Carmel School. 

Projects have included the following:

• Direct Mail/Response Mail Creation
• Brochure Design and Content Generation
• Radio Ad Copy Written
• Newspaper Ad Design and Copy Written
• Coordinate Regional Advertising Buy and Placement
• Provided Copy Editing and Localization of Multiple Financial Planning Books
• Newsletter Design and Content

The position of Creative Specialist was originally created to offer QA3 and affiliate companies a full-time, in-house copywriter for the great deal of marketing materials they were generating. In my time at QA3 I expanded this role into the creation of a collaborative in-house marketing department that developed all the internal and external marketing materials and creative input on the web presence of QA3 and its associated companies.

Because my department ran more efficiently thanks to our team collaboration model, I expanded the capabilities of the marketing department and offer complete creative agency services to our financial advisors nationwide. In this capacity my team created the look and brand for several financial advisors, and provided all levels of marketing services for many other advisors around the country. 

I was the Master of Ceremonies for QA3's annual conference in 2007 and 2008. My team created all the marketing materials to promote the conference and all the on-site marketing, giveaway, educational material and signage. These two events were the largest events the company had ever held. 

My presence along with the abilities of my team gave QA3 an unparalleled in-house marketing department that provided all the services other similar sized broker/dealers need to use agencies for. 

During my time in terrestrial radio I held many positions, all of which relied heavily upon my creative abilities. Over the nearly four years with Waitt I hosted the morning show on 106.9 KCTY-FM, was Co-host and Producer for “The Otis Twelve Show,” 1290 KKAR-AM, Producer for “Omaha’s Morning News with Kent Pavelka,” “The Jim Fagin Show” and “PM Omaha with Charlie and Mary,” 1290 KKAR-AM. This position also required I create station imaging, production pieces, comedy bits, manage guests, schedules and come up with creative topics for talk radio. 

Account executive, promotions and contributing writer for print advertising and events with Omaha’s premier newsweekly, The Reader. Consistently the highest billing representative during my tenure with some of Omaha's most well regarded institutions as clients. Sales and promotions for other affiliated publications: Today’s Omaha Woman Magazine, Heartland Healing Magazine, El Perico, the Auto Revista and the Reader's Annual Bridal supplement.

• Account management

• Relationship management
• Event planning
• Writing
