American History

I have always loved American History. I took AP History in high school, and numerous American History courses in college.

I think it is particularly important to look for and understand the causal relationships between historic events, and to look at the bigger picture, rather than just memorizing dates and names.

Writing

As an English Literature major in college, and as a current graduate student, I have extensive experience writing research, analytical, and exegetical papers.

Additionally, every job I've ever held has been writing intensive. I started in public relations, writing press releases for technology companies, then worked as a freelance writer for a health and fitness magazine. I've written technical reports, and most recently evaluate, edit and develop creative writing.

Career Development

I have successfully changed careers three times since I graduated from college.

Each time, I created a detailed plan to help me get my foot in the door in my new field. I did significant research on the industry, scheduled informational interviews, and found internships that I used to gain the experience I needed to land a full-time position.

I strongly believe that a person's job needs to be more than just work, and I would love to help you succeed in turning your passion...
