Darlene S.

I am a talented writer with over 30 years practical life experience to put behind my copy along with a degree in marketing AND an MBA. I've started five companies: computer repair, matchmaking service, writing, catering, and training and research. I've worked in production management, tribal government purchasing, manufacturing, communications, purchasing, merchandising, retail gas, retail food, department stores, hydraulic engineering, university faculty, and the military. I was even an undercover investigator for Pinkerton. The one thing that has tied all of this diverse work experience together is my writing skill. I've written grants, papers, ad copy, websites, purchasing policy, business plans, business proposals, radio copy, newspaper ads, curriculum, resumes...you name it, I've written it and written it well. My IRS 501(c)3 proposals were approved within 6 weeks; tribal policy on first run past tribal council. I was selected as the first format specialist for the Oklahoma Department of Vocational Education, Curriculum and Instructional Materials Center where I edited and formatted instructional materials and wrote the Style Guide for the state agency. All my companies have been successful and I have handled marketing materials for all of them from print to online. As a disk jockey, I even wrote on air copy. As a college professor, I taught marketing at the graduate and undergraduate levels, including internet marketing. Since 1997, as President of Southwest Training & Independent Research, Inc., I've written successful proposals for state, federal, and business projects and entities as well as curriculum for training in a wide range of subjects. If you need a writer with experience, you've found it!
