ML's resume

I loved the idea of posting our resumes. Here's mine. I tried to 'attach' it so you could see it in it's format, but I can't figure that out right now (though i did try!) So I've copied and pasted and in doing so, the format has been altered (it's alot sexier in it's word doc format). But as far as content is concerned, it's there. And the objective is general to education, theatre, speech. I've adjusted to a specific job posting.

But any input will be greatly appreciated. And if you'd like to see the word format, let me know and I'll email you. (I lied about the 'organizational' skill thing)

I'd like to encourage anyone to post theirs as well!

I again can't thank you all enough. Your support has helped me in so many ways.
