Experience Summary
I am a graduate of Houghton College. I graduated from this liberal arts college on May 12th of this year with a Bachelor’s degree in English/Writing and with a minor in Psychology. During my time at Houghton College, I was very involved with the student-run publications that the school offered. My junior and senior years I worked as a journalist for the school newspaper (http://www.houghtonstar.com/). I wrote articles covering diverse topics ranging from essays on sub-culture to an article covering the Oscars.
My senior year, I was given the position of co-editor of the school literary magazine, after having been involved with the publication for two years prior to receiving this position. With this position came the responsibility of dealing with every aspect of the publication process, including finances, production, design, and advertisement, as well as the planning of release events for marketing and distribution purposes.
Last year, I also began my current work as a freelance editor, offering my services to anyone who might need an editor for a book, an article, or just a short essay. I have been working in this respect with Luke Edward Hayes (references and phone numbers available upon request). I have worked both as his editor and as his English tutor for the past year and have worked on two of his novels.
