- Emily Reagan is a military spouse who became a freelance marketing assistant due to frequent moves.
- She hadn't been able to progress her media career so she started working remotely for business owners.
- Offering specialized marketing services led to both higher income and work-life balance.
I became a freelance marketing assistant without planning to in 2010 when my husband's military career forced me to quit yet another dream job.
We had just gotten orders to move back to Washington, DC from Oklahoma City. I worked in media and public relations, but I had a new baby and didn't have the energy or the connections to start over in a top media market while being the default parent to our son.
