Professional Summary

Here's a bit of my education and experience.

I love a new challenge, and so I've been able to gather some well-rounded experience. Working with non-profit organizations and in public relations allowed me to bring storytelling to every area of my work. My favorite subjects to write about are related to legal issues (including legal analysis), law enforcement, news/current events, feature pieces (especially human interest pieces), as well as anything that needs to be snappy, fun or humorous. I am available to write articles, blogs, press releases, newsletters, web content, and social media posts.
