  In addition to essential editing tasks (proofreading, concision editing, and light rewriting of copy), this role required a great deal of flexibility and on-the-spot problem solving as deadlines approached and limited help was available. I helped transition our team to a deadline 15 minutes earlier, designed pages as needed, and helped moderate the company's social media pages. Calmly handled extremely stressful situations, meeting deadlines in situations including but not limited to power failure, loss of server access for file transfer, and sudden loss of personnel in crucial support teams.
