My name is Kathy Keating, and I am a detail-oriented writer and editor
with a passion for technology and design. I have experience in both journalism
and public relations—I began my career as a reporter for a small newspaper
in northern New York (USA), and I later wrote admissions and publicity materials
for SUNY Potsdam, a small liberal arts university also in northern New York. I left
the United States in 2002 and moved to Amsterdam, the Netherlands. While there,
I developed a small freelance business, teaching people basic computer skills.
In my spare time, I created a few personal websites and blogs, and I began helping others do the same. When I moved to Melbourne, Australia in 2009, I decided
to pursue this field professionally, and I enrolled in a graduate program
in Graphic and Web Design at the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT). I’m now in my second semester, and I expect to complete this degree next year.
I am energized by new ideas and new technologies, and I love the challenge
of learning new skills. I am enjoying my studies at RMIT, and I look forward
to putting my new professional training to work for clients in the near future.
I have a complete profile, detailing my education, professional experience
and skills, at LinkedIn. If you’d like to see more examples of my writing and photography, please take a look at my personal blog, An Expat’s Photoblog,
as well as my older (now inactive) blogs, Life in Amsterdam, Amsterdam in Photos and my technology blog.
