Expert Guru
I have a Bachelor's Degree in English Literature and Creative Writing, and I currently work in a Creative Marketing department. Before my current position, I worked for a daily campus newspaper for 3 years as an opinion columnist (topics were my choice), and was also a copy editor and journalist.
I do freelance work on the side and in my spare time, I enjoy reading, adding to my huge DVD collection, and walking with my dog outdoors. My dream is to freelance full-time, but I know that it will take some work to get there!

Philosophy
I just found this quote recently from Nietzsche: "You need chaos in your soul to give birth to a dancing star." I love this because I think it really describes me. I always have a lot of projects and things going on, but that is what really makes me happy and able to succeed- the chaos keeps my mind busy and able to produce my best work.
