Who is Eric Wells?
My academic training in communication studies was only the start of a long path leading to a particular skillset that has taken years to cultivate. I have a complementary set of soft skills and technical skills and the ability to seamlessly switch between them. I can write from the heart, with polished pedantry, and with the voice of a brand or organization. I can see big picture concepts without leaving individuals behind. Beyond that, I embrace cultural and technological evolution and excel when learning and applying new skills simultaneously.
After a sabbatical during which I moved to Arkansas and helped care for both of my grandparents (who had dementia) until they passed away, I am transitioning into a career/life dedicated to public service and helping those in need. In 2026 I began the Master of Social Work program at LSU, and I continue to build on that path through self-directed study and volunteer work. Skills like writing, research, and organizational communication have never mattered more, and I bring them with me.
I am currently seeking roles (career and volunteer) where careful thinking, clear writing, and ethical judgment are treated as assets rather than obstacles; nonprofit communications, operations, social services, and writing-centered positions are my current focus.
But wait… there’s more!
Personal Bio:
I grew up in Baton Rouge, LA, and in some ways I have always been a southerner at heart. I have lived in Las Vegas, NV (where I graduated college from UNLV), Sarasota, FL (where I developed professionally and was active in and inspired by the philanthropic community), and family matters have brought me to Maumelle, AR. Here, I hope to launch a new and meaningful career. I have two amazing toy poodles (Ewok & Riker). My main hobbies are writing and gardening, but I also enjoy biking, hiking, and time spent with my friends. I am a self-identified geek. So, I love sci-fi, fantasy, and comic books.
