Amy LeBlanc’s Summary
I've been a high-level executive assistant, project manager, and training coordinator for the past 14 years. I've worked on clinical trials in a university research setting, organized company parties in corporate settings, edited technical reports and peer-reviewed journal articles, organized and taught training courses, and managed a small business office. I'm not above being an assistant; I like helping other people do their jobs. However, my goal is to get beyond the administrative and into the substantive. I like to learn things.
My professional experience can more specifically be summarized as follows:
* General professional copy writing and editing on diverse subjects ranging from environmental issues to travel guides to technology solutions.
* Write and copy edit project reports, presentations and memoranda that contain extensive research data, public policy analysis, and graphic representations; distribute documents to government agencies and the general public in specified formats.
* Coordinate, write and copy edit project proposals for State and Federal contracts following strict guidelines and formats, including aggregating and integrating documents and financial data from multiple consultants and contractors.
* Copy edit and format finalization of peer-reviewed journal articles prior to submission to journal editors; editing for MLA/APA style.
* 5+ years experience implementing, managing, and troubleshooting online web content and writing tools.
* Taught English (ESL and Creative Writing) to school-age children and young adults on weekends for 5+ years, created curriculum.
General:
* 14+ years experience in the areas of customer service, office administration, conflict analysis and resolution, project management,business management, training course development and marketing.
Other (off the clock): Event production, fashion shows, performance art, community organization.
