Marcella Van Oel

    In my career I’ve had the opportunity to work with clients who have come to know me and the value I bring in producing a collaborative, shared outcome. I create a context for communication strategies that often start as abstract ideas with a very specific purpose for leading the reader, user, or customer to the next step in comprehension and action. I’ve worked in various web platforms, content management systems and print media.

    Throughout key points in my career I’ve screened and recruited the public for a market research company holding focus groups and a housing development LLC building a membership of equity holders. I’ve also taken an interest in environmental awareness campaigns working as a beach naturalist for the Seattle Aquarium.

    My vision is to take these talents and my web content skills and use them in service to an organization that supports awareness, education and mentoring. My work is all about engaging curiosity, imagination and desire to be part of a local solution. It includes using online forums and public gatherings to build awareness and understanding. My role is a liaison between online contact and human contact in gathering like-minded people together to create, push, and perpetuate a better life in the 21st century.
