Randi Weitzman
Randi Weitzman, with over twenty-five years of experience writing material for companies for whom she was employed,including employee handbooks, orientation and training manuals, press releases, and more, has decided to write what she wants to write and communicate to others her experiences as a 'jane-of-all-trades' having worked in telecommunications, IT, healthcare, construction, non-profits, retail and more. Focusing on the uncovering truth, especially when personally or professionally affected by a company or government's lack of concern in correcting wrongs, following laws, or just plain disregarding basic customer service and human civility, her passion for an issue is candidly evident. While sticking toward a basically non-fiction base, sporadically, one will find a creative writing piece published such as a limerick or free-form poem. Even so, these attempts at verse are based on a current event or trendy topic.
