In 2004, I began writing articles for military-based publications in the U.S. and overseas. In 2008, I tutored EFL students in Japan. I continued to tutor upon my enrollment in graduate school in 2014, where I assisted California state university students with essay composition and preparation for the state required Writing Skills Test. Currently, I am a regular contributor to a weekly local newspaper, writing articles that promote special events, local businesses, and stories of interest.
