Hi! My name is John O’Malley, a communication specialist in West Lafayette, Indiana. Thanks for stopping by to learn about me and my professional background. Much of my work involves writing articles for an online newsroom, filming and editing promotional videos and interviews, and managing social media. The articles page contains a growing library of my written work, and check out recent my recent videos as well.
May/June 2018 update: As time permits, I’m uploading copies of most of my creative works to this site, including articles I’ve written and videos I’ve produced. Until the archive is complete, there may be significant gaps between the dates you see on individual posts here. Dozens of articles are here, but as yet there aren’t many videos — but see this YouTube channel. Most videos there are my work.
