Hi, I'm Micki.

My focus is professional writing and communications and I am pursuing a Bachelor of Individualized Study (BIS) degree with a 4.0 GPA at George Mason University, Fairfax, VA (graduating in 2025). Previously, I earned a Certificate in Web Design & Development from Parkland College, Champaign, IL.

My passion lies in writing, editing, and designing. My coursework has given me hands–on experience in areas such as:

• Crafting compelling proposals from pipeline through RFP analysis and Shipley draft reviews
• Writing engaging web copy and stirring up social media buzz via Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter/X
• Using semantic HTML and CSS to create user–friendly and responsive websites
• AP–style writing for breaking news stories, press releases, and captions
• Academic writing including lit reviews, scholarly research, and project proposals (both MLA– and APA–style)
• Nonprofit creation, management, and fundraising
• Using Adobe Creative Suite to design infographics, brochures, advertisements, book and magazine layouts

When I'm not glued to my laptop finishing my degree coursework, you might find me at a concert, singing karaoke (Broadway, Weird Al, angry girl country, or hits from the 90s), or catching a show at the local community theatre. You might also find me onstage acting (always Shakespeare, it seems) or backstage designing award–winning costumes. Feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn or check out some of my work on my portfolio page—I'm always up for discussing new opportunities or just chatting about all things communication and design.
