Rachel Hunter
Rachel’s education and varied work background have prepared her well for working for John and the wide range of small business types on MWC’s list of clients. A degree in liberal studies (and a minor in anthropology) helped hone the necessary multi–tasking skills required for this varying job, as did a background in design, sales, customer service, data entry, and office management. Her resume shows her jack-of-all-trades background.
Rachel is a constant continuing education student, starting her career in web development by completing classes in html, website production, and Adobe’s Photoshop and InDesign, and more recently, in search engine optimization, Illustrator and Quickbooks.
These are the skills Rachel adds to those of MWC’s:
- Organization and project management.
- An eye for design and an understanding of designing for a client’s needs and objective, as well as what functions on a website.
- Customer service – the ability to listen, and move towards a goal.
- Familiarity with Excel, Word, Photoshop, InDesign, Illustrator, TopStyle, Quickbooks, Powerpoint and Dreamweaver.
- Digital photography touch–up and formatting.
- Design with branding and marketing in mind.
Ethics
In the natural course of working with hard drives, client emails, surveys, mailing lists, etc., we often see private and confidential information. We respect this information entrusted to us (either intentionally or discovered in the course of our work) and do not divulge it under any circumstances. We never engage in spamming, or potential harassment of email recipients. We will not participate in any unethical search engine optimization and will not engage in any illegal business activities.
