I became a published poet and short story writer through creative writing contests in high school. I served as Copy Editor for The Loudoun Lantern, a publication of Northern Virginia Community College. My tasks included pitching ideas for stories at staff meetings, writing feature articles, and proofreading and editing stories prior to web publication. I also assisted in recruiting new staff members for The Loudoun Lantern. I have worked as an administrative healthcare professional for the last 4 years, but I have varied interests. Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns you may have!
