Professional Experience
Recent college graduate (BA in English; Rhetoric and Professional Writing) who specializes in nonfiction writing, including news-type articles, columns, blogs, and social media, I have experience in newspapers, magazines, reviews, blog-style writing, and doing social media in a corporate setting. I'm looking for freelance writing and editing opportunities.
I'm currently the managing editor of an online magazine, GenTwenty, which features articles aimed at twenty-somethings.
