In working as a freelance copywriter for VeryCopy/SEOButler, I was able to hone the copywriting skills that I learned in my internship at the MCA.

- Administrative Assistant · @properties2017-02-01 – 2018-07-01
In my position at @properties I was able to rapidly grow from my basic administrative position to a more involved role in the East Lincoln Park office. With over 280 real estate agents licensed out of the office, I was responsible for tracking, managing, and ordering office supply inventory. I also worked independently in the office on the weekends and handled all MLS listings, checks, and rental applications that came in during that time. In addition to these tasks, my position as an administrative assistant at @properties involved helping to plan various office events and lunches, facilitating communication between various departments, and managing office schedules.

Performance interns are responsible for drafting and editing playbills for performances, including formatting, editing interviews for clarity, and compiling copy. During my time at the MCA, there was a large overhaul of the museum’s website, which meant that I was responsible for regularly monitoring the website for information accuracy regarding upcoming performances and events. Additionally, I worked on community outreach, and helped to develop material and programming that encourage disability access in the MCA’s spaces.
