I am a writer, copy editor, and communication specialist with a decade of experience in print and online media. My writing portfolio includes articles on everything from arts, health and education research to parenting advice, travel, food, interiors, and live music reviews.

 

My professional experience includes developing and leading successful communication and marketing strategies.

 

I am a creative thinker with a wide range of skills including digital photography, strategic social media, SEO and SEM, graphic design using Adobe Creative Suite products, web content management (experience in WYSIWYG and some HTML).

 

In my previous role, I was Communication Coordinator for Education and Arts Research at the University of Newcastle, Australia. During my time here, I was awarded the prestigious Vice-Chancellor's Award. "Jessie's innovative ideas and specialist skills in journalism, communication, and social media have added significantly to the value offer of the Faculty of Education and Arts Research Unit" (Catharine Oddie, Research Development Manager, University of Newcastle).

 

Prior to this, I was Managing Editor of My Child Magazine Australia. At this time, My Child was a print and online magazine with a readership of approximately 100,000 in Australia and overseas. 

 

I currently have a blog, St Catharines Street, which is a handpicked local's guide to the best of St. Catharines and the Niagara Region. Since starting this five months ago, it has grown organically to have a loyal following of the blog and social media channels.
