I wrote these blogs as part of my marketing duties at ExpenseAnywhere, an up-and-coming IT firm in Monroeville, PA. I report on both industry and company news.
I wrote for the Odyssey, an online literary magazine, during my junior and senior years of college. I wrote about a variety of topics that interest me, such as politics, movies, religion, feminism, and more. It was not a paid position, but it was valuable experience and I loved it.

Tube City Almanac
My Poetry
March 2019
I am a freelance writer for the Tube City Almanac, a community newspaper that covers news from the McKeesport / White Oak / Duquesne / North Versailles areas. I cover borough meetings, community events, businesses, and any other noteworthy events that affects the communities we serve.
I really enjoy writing poetry in my spare time. It's therapeutic, plus it helps me improve my writing and keep the creative juices flowing. I hope to one day publish my poetry.
