The Office Nerd
I’m Denise, and I’m a nerd. Spreadsheets and essays make me happy. I’m weird like that.
My job is to help small business owners, and I thrive on challenges. I love to help small businesses utilize readily available resources to make their jobs easier. We don’t have to re-invent the wheel here, but we can take a great tool like Excel (which most business owners have) and turn it into a power tool that will accelerate systems and processes.
Plus, I’m a prolific writer. I have been a freelance writer for over 13 years and have over 1000 published articles to my name. (Writing samples are linked on DeniseHeidel.com.) Whether I’m blogging, writing web/marketing copy, or helping in some other writing capacity — words are fun.
Bonus writing — I’m also a resume writer! Check out TheResumeNerd.com to learn more about that part of the business.
Other things…. I am a Jill of all trades, and I’m happy to talk about your project with you. If I can’t help you, chances are very good I can refer you to the right person who can.
I’m a business owner too, and I understand that you can’t do it all yourself. I bring over 25 years of professional experience to the table, and I’ve excelled (pun intended) at project management, writing, and organization.
