I graduated from the University of Southern Indiana with a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Creative Writing in 2000. During my last year of college I worked for R & W Publishing as a researcher and general writer until I was given a monthly sig to write. In January of 2002, I became associate editor or two publications-the Indiana Journal and Tri-State and was editor of Metropolitan Tee Times. To gain a better grasp of in-depth writing and research, I accepted ajob as a reporter for a local weekly newspaper. Currently, I do freelance work for music groups, press releases and presentations for a variety or organizations and writng for farming and ranching magazines. While I enjoy my job, my first love is writing columns and personal essays about Christian living or any topic that God may place on my heart. I also enjoy photography and graphic design. My favorite scripture is James 1:2-I'd tell you what it said, but you need to look it up for yourself.
