PERSONAL
My name is Dina, I am 30yrs old and from South Jersey. I am the Site Steward for the Food and Drink/Other Subchannel. If you have any ideas or suggestions on how we can improve the channel, feel free to contact me through the contact this writer button.
I have three children; one son, age 6 and toddler twin daughters.
I am from Lancaster County PA, and although I currently reside in Southern Jersey, I still refer to Pennsylvania as home.
EDUCATION
I am currently a junior at Drexel University in Philadelphia PA and am currently finishing my degree in Business. I hope to continue on to obtain my Masters Degree and possibly teach college students in the future.
BACKGROUND
I love to write, and have been eager to find an opportunity to polish my skills. I have always had a way with words, ever since my dad handed me a pencil at the age of 2 and taught me how to write my name. I never stopped and throughout my childhood was a part of gifted and talented programs, especially in Language Arts. In high school, I was an Honors English student for four years. I also participated in many Creative Writing classes and Poetry Clubs.
I also love to blog and I have caught on to the internet trend of blogging. I spend my spare time contributing to my own blogs or reading other blogs. I blog for a few internet blogging sites as well, where I will type up ads or product reviews and place them on my own blog(s).
I experimented a bit with "newswriting" for a television station here in Philadelphia. It was interesting and a learning experience, but not my "thing."
HELIUM
I am a Helium Channel Champions Contest Winner. I have placed first, second and third in different contests. I have also won first place in the BostonNow College Writing Contest in April 2008.
ARTICLES SOLD
I have sold an article to epersonalfinance and I hope to sell many more. That first publication is only my stepping stone.
If you need articles, blog posts, or anything written for a website or blog, just drop me an email. My pricing is negotiable. I also run a parenting blog with quite a bit of subscribed readers and a decent google pagerank so if you want me to advertise your blog, product, service, or even review your website, I will be happy to do so for a negotiable advertising fee.
