Resume

When I began college, I majored in studio art and then education and finally settled on English. Before receiving my BA, I completed two additional semesters to broaden my literature and composition concentration to include technical writing and editing.

If you would like to discuss my experiences or a potential opportunity, please feel to contact me. I am always interested in applying myself. You may download the PDF of my resume or my vCard contact information.
