Professional Experience

I am a freelancer who is fairly new to the freelance scene, but have had several satisfied ghostwriting clients. I specialize in fiction and nonfiction writing, with niche topics in art, literature, and culture as well as social issues and current events. I have an MA in education and a BA in integrative studies (including English, creative writing, race and ethnic studies, and gender studies).
