Caren Baginski’s Summary
I'm a professional and adaptable journalist with online and magazine experience. I currently work at the Medical Group Management Association (MGMA) as an online editor, where I manage and train coworkers on SEO, write the company blog (http://blog.mgma.com), spearhead our social media presence and ensure style and brand voice throughout our Web properties.
Previously, I've written and produced online features for major lifestyle brands including: HGTV.com, HGTV Ideas magazine, FineLiving.com, HGTVPro.com, FoodNetwork.com, GACTV.com and Purina's Beneful.com.
Social media gets me excited, as does multimedia: I've hosted and edited podcasts, developed vlogs and spearheaded convergent projects, taking content from cable or print to online and vice versa.
Topics I've written about: decorating and design, eco-friendly and environment, health care, home improvement, real estate, fitness and lifestyle, travel, guides and product recommendations, pets and animals.
