OBJECTIVE

To further my skills in Office Administration and Writing; to find a full-time, stable job so that I may pursue writing on my own time.

SKILLS

I'm bright and creative and I love learning new things. I work very well in a team environment, and am a self-starter. Adept at multi-tasking, I am both flexible and dependable. I am proficient at research and can write about almost any topic. I also have years of computer experience and am familiar with many common software programs - particularly those relating to word processing, graphics and HTML editing. In addition, I use the Internet often and I have created various sites for personal use, for friends, and have provided content, graphic and HTML support for professional sites. I also keep tabs on emerging programs and technologies, and am currently teaching myself Macromedia Flash and Adobe PageMaker Pro. I have excellent spoken and written English.

EDUCATION

Simon Fraser University
I am completing a Bachelor of Arts in English Literature at Simon Fraser University. I take the occasional evening course (I have no intention of returning to school full-time) and will most likely be completing my degree sometime in 2004. I have already completed over 50 credits at S.F.U. and have 30 from Douglas College. I am interested in a wide variety of subjects, but my studies focus primarily on English Literature, Archaeology, Art and Film Theory, Philosophy and Women's Studies.
