With more than ten years of experience in corporate communication, I have a proven track record of helping companies ensure that key messages are delivered to internal and external audiences.

Edward,

I've been getting your newsletter for years and it is a wonderful thing. I read it while employed and unemployed (such as now). If you ever see available positions in the SOUTH jersey area, please don't hesitate to include them. New Jersey is comprised of north and south… the New York “area” (north) and the Philadelphia “area,” (south). So, if possible please include southern New Jersey in your list. It would be appreciated by many, I'm sure.

Sincerely,
