: About Me

I graduated from Clark University with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Psychology and English, and I have strong experience writing for publications, and national media; and working in public affairs.

I have a solid background writing for newspapers, national television and the internet. I am a motivated self starter with the ability to multi-task while working efficiently to meet deadlines. In addition to having excellent writing and communication credentials, I have strong content editing and proofreading skills. My internships, experience, and education have strengthened my work ethic as a team player who follows through on all projects.

I am well versed in Microsoft Office, using both Mac and PC platforms, and utilizing the Internet for detail oriented research. Working as an Editorial Intern for the Sun Sentinel, I wrote award winning op-ed articles regarding current events in Palm Beach County. I also became familiar with the AP style guide, which I utilized writing press releases, and the APA and MLA writing styles.
