I am a freelance writer living in Oregon. I have experience writing news articles for blogs and forums online. Locally, I have written business articles, human/community interest stories, and event updates. I really enjoy meeting new people and telling their stories. Privately, I write poetry, make up impromptu song lyrics, and write short stories. As an aside, I also have some experience building web pages using Wordpress, and the building and maintaining of web forums using phpbb. I have 1 year of experience building newspaper advertisements using InDesign and Photoshop.
