Elizabeth C. Haynes (formerly Armenta) has always loved to write, and started writing actively around the age of 10. She has a Bachelor of Arts in English from Kansas State University and completed some graduate coursework in instructional design at The University of Wisconsin-Stout.
In her first position out of college, she completely took over all technical and internal department communications within six months of employment. She then moved on to an international corporation, where she managed business and technical communications on both a local and global scale.
Following her international stint, Elizabeth worked at a healthcare IT start-up where she created a wide mix of technical, business, marketing and web communications. She created three help systems from scratch, and co-managed two others. Her work there also exposed her to true marketing copy, branding and strategy - which she proved to have a knack for as well.
From 2010 to 2013, Elizabeth's work shifted chiefly to curriculum and instructional design for both corporate HR settings and public education. She provided e-learning and blended learning solutions to the largest supply chain corporation in the aerospace and aviation industry, and primarily focused her efforts on helping design, develop and evaluate new curriculum for a large renal pharmacy. These efforts included managing teams of trainers and employees (10+ people) on large training initiatives, and facilitating training classes.

Elizabeth began her own independent writing and consulting business in 2009 with an initial focus on small businesses, PR, and consumer publications. She took her business full-time in mid 2013 and now works exclusively as an independent writer and consultant. Her focus is on commercial freelancing work (print and web), primarily for corporations and small businesses. She enjoys working on a variety of communications for a variety of clients, but focuses mostly on business, healthcare, and IT.
Note: Elizabeth does not subcontract or outsource her work to less experienced writers. She is a company of one.
