Rebecca Laffar-Smith’s Summary

Web Tech focused on bringing people online. Introducing people to the internet from basic home office setup and design, ISP connections, software installation, to social media profiling, blog and website design, and personalized training on computer functionality and safety.

Editor particularly of poetry and non-fiction articles. Also experienced in layout and design, line editing, and collaborative editing projects. Particular skill in creating accessible content, breaking rules to increase depth and connection rather than following strict style guidelines for barren prose.

Writer willing to explore and experience. I've written anything from lists of ingredients, to white papers. Exceptional skill with web copy and short informative articles. Particularly interested in parenting, pets, internet, technology, metaphysical, and writing topics but enjoy exploring other genres and writing styles.
