Summary of Qualifications
I feel that I am uniquely qualified for the position of TOFW Marketing Coordinator. I am a huge fan of Time Out For Women and have volunteered on the Logan Team for many years. I am also very familiar with the products and authors/artists. I hosted a podcast for several years (Mormon Mom-Cast), and during that time received complimentary copies of many Deseret Book products to review for my show. I also worked with Deseret Book Publicists Liz Carlston, Leigh Dethman and Ashley Jones to coordinate interviews with Deseret Book artists and authors, many of whom present at Time Out.
I have 15+ years of experience in web design, web marketing and web media. I have designed and run many websites over the years. One of my sites has been online continuously since 1997. I am very familiar with html, BBCode, etc. The first 20+ Google Search hits for “Whit Larson” are several websites I run as well as my social media pages, illustrating my long online history.
I am proficient in all areas of social media (including Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Instagram and more) and have worked for the past three years in online marketing with the bulk of my work being done in an online forum/blog format and on Facebook.
I also have a strong background in writing and good communication skills. I attended college on a journalism scholarship, worked in radio for several years and hosted my own podcast.
I am organized, efficient, work well with others and love to be challenged.
