Page 1 of Micky's curriculum vitae

Update August 2008: I've decided to use all the experience and knowledge about writing, websites and communication I've gained over the past 15 years or so and go freelance!

I'm a copywriter for websites and print publications as part of Triple W Communications, the existing company my husband Menno and I are both directors of. I also do SEO (search engine optimisation) and editing & proofreading for both web and print. We further create websites for small to medium-sized businesses and organisations.

Between March 2005 and August 2008, I was the sole web content manager and second media officer for Coffs Harbour City Council, in Coffs Harbour, NSW, Australia, also writing for the official Coffs Coast tourism website.

Before this, I was a consultant/copywriter with an English language business communications firm, editor of a Dutch travel magazine, and a journalist/content manager with a large newspaper website in Singapore.

But I guess any of the following descriptions suit me:
* copywriter * journalist * editor * feature writer *
* website manager * webmaster * content writer *

I work in the media/communications sector.
My most recent jobs (since 2000) entailed:

• managing websites, writing and editing web content, sourcing and editing images, creating and writing e-newsletters, writing press releases, writing newspaper editorials, writing speeches, proofreading publications;
• writing and editing brochures, press releases, newsletters, marketing materials, reports and websites for a variety of companies in different industries, and translating documents from Dutch into English;
• writing and editing for a travel magazine and various websites;
• writing and editing for a news website, women's website, various webspecials and occasionally for the (print) newspaper itself;
• creating and maintaining small websites, and writing content for various websites (in both English and Dutch).

I have experience and/or keen interest in the following areas:
* web content writing * SEO * travel & feature writing * marketing communications *corporate communications * print media * online publishing * public relations
