Background

About Melanie Aaron

Allow me a few minutes of your time to see whether you can put my skills to effective use in your organization? There are people who don't know a life without the internet: I got my start when the public believed it was "a passing fad" and started with DOS commands. Since then, my passion for technology has been matched with hundreds of projects of all sorts. Working with me, you will know you can count on my commitment, reliability and proven skills. I'm a professional well-suited to collaborate in a team on the most complex projects or to take the initiative as a self-starter. I enjoy both dynamic, fluid work environments where there is a balance of interactions with others and opportunities to succeed on my own merits. I'm an enthusiastic, nimble learner and a creative problem solver. Give me your mission critical projects - ones with tight deadlines and tough requirements that require a detail-oriented, flexible individual. Find out how clients who work with me have benefited from my extensive skills in written communications to research, author, review and edit web content. My familiarity with content management systems (CMS) on the backend such as WordPress and Drupal, and HTML coding and troubleshooting means fluid execution, getting your - or your clients' communications - where and when they need to be available. I've installed and updated themes, and site plug-in / extension updates. You'll learn that I've developed content for electronic newsletters and email marketing campaigns for delivery via services such as MailChimp. Using a variety of tools, my toolbox includes extensive, in-depth knowledge of keyword research, SEO tools, and search engine optimization techniques, and evaluating content for compliance with standards. If needed, I've applied MySql to retrieve data and Unix commands for data porting. On the frontend, leveraging the power of the Adobe Creative Cloud suite - Adobe Photoshop, InDesign (originally PageMaker), Illustrator and even Premiere - I am fluent in converting and optimizing images, in editing video assets, and in preparing reports on digital analytics and tracking (with PowerPoint as your Plan B). From an organizational perspective, I've been exposed to Microsoft Project. Should your needs encompass social media, I've created and launched campaigns via Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), and Instagram. When the role is required, I possess the interpersonal skills and openness to lead diverse teams.
