Laurel Lindquist

Technical Writing & Editorial Specialist

I'm a creative and detail-oriented professional with a strong foundation in marketing, communications, and administrative support. As a Marketing Intern for Idaho State University's College of Education, I gained experience designing promotional materials, writing and editing for the Bengal Education Review, coordinating events, and maintaining web content to support outreach and engagement.

With a background in customer service and public-facing roles since age 15, I've developed excellent communication, problem-solving, and organizational skills under pressure.

I hold a BA in English with an emphasis in Professional Writing and a minor in Marketing, graduating with Honor's Distinction. My strengths include writing, editing, design (Canva, Adobe InDesign), social media management, and project coordination. I'm passionate about helping organizations communicate clearly and connect meaningfully with their audiences.
