Writing is something that I've always enjoyed, but haven't held many roles where long-form writing was needed. Here are a few samples of work that have be created in the past several years.

University Dining was one of the departments my team supported the most. We crafted a weekly email to all students on a meal plan. The email newsletters would feature important announcements, events, features, sales and more. We tried to keep the tone fun and energetic, while still getting important information across.

This Week In Design was a weekly email newsletter I published for almost two years while working for the Department of Design. We featured announcements, deadlines, exhibits, job postings and more. Readership was usually around 35% every week, this was approximately 15% more than the industry average at the time.

While serving as the VP of Publications for BYU PRSSA, I had the opportunity to lead a team that created tri-annual newsletters. In each edition, I also had the opportunity to publish an article. While looking at analytics and user feedback, we decided a mobile-friendly version of the newsletter was needed. We would create two layouts so more users could read with a mobile device.
