Hello, welcome to my Tech Writing Page. I'm an English major and a business minor at Eastern Michigan University, interested in magazine editing and/or Public Relations.
A previous class assignment asked me to interview a PR professional (I chose a professional from Domino's), and I was very impressed by the publicity and charity work carried out. Editing user's work on Zoetrope, an online workshop for writers and artists, was just as rewarding as receiving feedback of my own because I gained insight into the ways I could improve my own writing. A segment of Zoetrope's Online Workshop is also the context of my CGA proposal/report and was created from an existing magazine entitled, "Zoetrope: All-Story." Other than writing, some of my favorite past times include going to clubs/partying, playing computer games and reading the occaisional mystery and suspense novel.
