I am a Chicago native and recent graduate from Cornell College majoring in English with a dual-concentration in creative and expository writing. While in school, I spent my free time mowing down hitters as a starting pitcher for the baseball team; go Rams. For my final semester, I wrote an original screenplay which I hope to someday turn into a film. My utility belt runs the gamut from composing print journalism, to blogging and SEO content, writing on spec, and even using InDesign and Photoshop to copy-edit nationally published textbooks. I have strong research skills and access to excellent databases (JSTOR, Academic Search Complete, EBSCOhost). If you hire me, you will receive personalized prose designed specifically to meet your needs as a client. I don't deal in template text or "paint-by-number" prose. I am consummate in APA, AP, MLA, and Chicago styles and standards; as well as all aspects of Microsoft Word, including the Developer tool.
