Loxy the worker

If you've stumbled upon this page, it's because maybe you don't want earrings, accessories and random Heated Rivalry home goods. 

And instead, you're looking for me to do some contract work for you - in Whitehorse or remotely.

Things you might be looking for: 

• Writing and editing
• Research and backgrounders
• Communications strategies
• Public engagement
• Social media plans
• Event planning
• Narration, podcast or voice-over work
  
• Help growing food in the north (note: can I take over your unused yard?)
• Learning to play pickleball (note: this one is probably better in person.)
• Dog walking/boarding (note: I don't think I can walk your dog remotely.)

You can go to my linkedin for all the nitty gritty details, but here's my one paragraph summary: 

I'm a former award-winning radio journalist who has now been working in communications in the Yukon for over a decade. I have a degree in Economics and a diploma in Broadcast Journalism. Most of my recent work is in government communications, including the areas of: First Nations Education, Environment, Finance, Intergovernmental Relations, and Highways and Public Works. I have taken my fair share of project management courses, but haven't ponied up the time or money for my full PMP. But I do love sinking my teeth into a project for a while and then moving onto learning about something new. 

I'm not looking for full-time work. I am currently navigating life as a part-time maker, a part-time dog walker (with Fawkestrot Adventures), acquiring new skills (especially sewing), instructing beginner pickleball players, managing multiple gardens and taking on fun contracts. So if you have something that might be a good fit for both of us, please reach out at loxythemaker@gmail.com.
