About
I like words.
When I was a kid, I wanted to be a princess-doctor-spy; as an adult, I realized working with books would be the next best thing. After graduating from college, I worked for Verizon Wireless before moving to greener pastures at CreateSpace, an independent-publishing company owned by Amazon.com. At CreateSpace, I worked as an editorial and marketing coordinator, and I finally got to experience life through the eyes of princesses, doctors, and spies (and bankers, food-safety inspectors, dogs, cranberry farmers, former pimps, and psychics).
After a few years of living in worlds created by other people, I decided it was time to spice up my own world. I gave a year's notice that I'd be leaving the company and enrolled in Clemson University's Master of Arts in Professional Communication program in Fall 2014. During my time at Clemson, I have heard the word rhetoric more than I have in the rest of my life combined, and I've been fortunate enough to teach First-Year Composition, which I have loved. I expect—and hope, pray, and dream—to graduate in May 2016. My ultimate goal is to find a position that will allow me to teach and to edit.
