Hello Lauren what you wrote at Contested deletion sounds reasonable and I took the speediness out of the deletion notice so you have more leisure to improve it As it stands it still violates WPPROMOTION and it needs a major rewrite to make it be neutral rather than sound like a CV Since you appear to have not worked on any other articles I recommend you join or notify a related WikiProject such as WikiProject Seattle where you will find other editors who should be able to help you get this article in encyclopedia shape
