FREELANCE WRITER
My Resume
PROFESSIONAL INFO
I enjoy putting ideas and thoughts onto paper. As such, I picked a writing-heavy major, psychology, as I entered college. My primary speciality is technical writing covering topics such as politics, mental health, and religion. Even so, I do have a creative flare for poetry. Both styles of writing have earned me several significant recognitions seen below.
“A writer should be joyous, an optimist . . . anything that implies rejection of life is
wrong for a writer.”
- George Gribbin
