Summary
I am a writer and researcher applying for the copywriter position with Phoenix. My research and writing skills placed me at the top of my class during my master's degree in English literature. In my time working as a writer for Canada Post and Employment and Social Development Canada, I transferred my academic writing abilities to the professional world. In all aspects of my work, I centre my writing on precision of form, attention to detail, reader engagement, and concision.
