 | Corporate Summary and Educational Background
Elizabeth has always loved to write, and started writing actively around the age of 10. She has a Bachelor of Arts in English from Kansas State University and completed some graduate coursework in instructional design at The University of Wisconsin-Stout. In her first position out of college, she completely took over all technical and internal department communications within six months of employment. She then moved on to an international corporation, where she managed business and technical communications on both a local and global scale. Following her international stint, Elizabeth worked at a healthcare IT start-up where she created a wide mix of technical, business, marketing and web communications. Her work there exposed her to true marketing copy, branding, and strategy - which she proved to have a knack for as well. Transitioning from there, she spent a year as a language arts teacher in public school and then shifted towards a teaching/training role when she returned to corporate America. Over the past few years, Elizabeth's work has focused on instructional design and training in a corporate setting. She provided e-learning and blended learning solutions to the largest supply chain corporation in the aerospace and aviation industry, and now primarily focuses her efforts on helping design, develop, implement and evaluate new curriculum for a large renal pharmacy. These efforts include managing teams of trainers and employees (10+ people) on large training initiatives, and facilitating training classes several times per quarter. Consulting Elizabeth began her own independent consulting business in 2009, with an initial focus on small businesses, PR, and consumer publications. She has since shifted her primary focus to training program development, technical writing and business copywriting, but still enjoys writing articles and tackling random communications projects from time to time. |
