Writer Biography

I love to write. Most of my education has focused on writing to some extent. After primary school, I attended high school at one of the top high schools in the United States. Students enrolled in this program must apply – approximately 1 in 75 are accepted – and then maintain a high GPA in all coursework, which by all assessments is closer to Graduate studies than those of a high school. My specialty was creative writing, and poetry in particular, and although I do not write creative works for commission, my formative educational experience is worth mentioning. I recently received my Bachelors of Arts in English at Jacksonville State University, and am currently enrolled as a Graduate student at the same institution, where I have worked as a tutor and teacher’s assistant in the English department for the past three years. Once I earn my Master’s degree, my intention is to pursue a PhD, and then hopefully both teach and publish scholarly works.

Partially because of my educational experience, my experience with writing is expansive and diverse. As mentioned above, I started with creative works, particularly fiction and poetry. I’ve written and edited children’s books, and I am working on three articles for publication in scholarly journals. I’ve written for the web on and off for about three years now. I’ve written for literary magazines dedicated to humorous pieces, and written serious academic pieces, and everything in between. Whatever kind of writing you need, I can probably do it, with only a few exceptions. I've been published in a number of publications across the whole writing spectrum.

I enjoy writing for places like Constant Content because it pushes me to research new things and then gives me the opportunity to write about them. And at least for me, it’s about the knowledge and experience writing gives me, and not so much about bylines or credit.
In my spare time, I like to read, and the type of reading really depends on my mood that day. I play the piano badly. I can read French and am trying to learn to read German but have not had as much luck as I might have hoped. I ride a mountain bike and build my own trails. I know how to knit and spin yarn, and my family used to breed cats, so I grew up working in animal husbandry. I like making up stories with my daughter and playing video games with my husband. I’m quirky, perhaps, but I love to learn, and I hope that you’ll give me the opportunity to learn more about your project.
