Professional Experience

My passion for reading and writing spans across a diversity of topics and mediums. I read everything from newspapers to books to magazines to blogs, and am comfortable using information technologies to write across different media platforms. I recently graduated Cum Laude from the George Washington University with a degree in Journalism. From this discipline, I explored the many realms of media and am eager to pursue a career in this field.
