I develop Web sites as a copy editor and project manager.
I earned a PACE Award for exceeding performance goals in 2008 and a second PACE Award for customer focus in 2009.
I enjoy challenging myself in areas outside of editing and project management, so I use Photoshop to design the AE/PM of the Month Award and I write current events articles for the Web Advantage team.
