Professional Experience
I am an experienced writer/editor/reporter and marketing expert with eclectic interests. On one hand, I enjoy writing about travel, physical and mental health, lifestyle, outdoors, music, arts and everything that encompasses a stimulating lifestyle. On the other hand, I am passionate about international conflict, politics, women's issues and human rights. I am skilled in reporting, digital media, branding, graphic design, building and engaging social media followings, and managing staff writers.
