Experience

I have been creating original content for the last two years, including short stories, blogs, and marketing pieces for small businesses.  I have developed a keen eye towards reader impact, consistent grammar and style, design layout and development.  My promotional work can be found in Lakefront Living and South Bend Living.  I also review books on my blog The Library Key.

I have also edited, proofread, or otherwise contributed to various literary magazines, including Split Lip Magazine, Anomaly Literary Journal, and Booth: A Journal.  In addition, I have worked with Indiana-based financial advisors Carey Yukich and Hawley Woods Gray on their up-and-coming book, Push Through: Your Ultimate Success Playbook.

In 2017, I had the privilege of editing a story for Split Lip called “Poisoned Apple,” by Katie Welch, which won the Longform Fiction Pick of the Week on December 15th, 2017.

For three years, I have also taught English composition, where I have honed my skills as a writer, editor, and teacher.  Some classes I have taught or assisted with include the following:

“Utopia in Literature”–assistant to Dr. Jim Keating at Butler University

“Integrated Reading and Writing”–Ivy Tech Community College

“English Composition”–Ivy Tech Community College

“Exposition and Persuasion”–Ivy Tech Community College

“Creative Writing”–Ivy Tech Community College
