What I can do for you...
"The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood...and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat."
Theodore Roosevelt

I hold a B.S. in Journalism from Middle Tennessee State University where I became engaged in student media. I wrote extensively for the university paper Sidelines, the radio station WMOT-FM, and worked on a long-format TV broadcast.
My journalism background sets me apart from others in that I work well independently and on tight deadlines. Also, I am comfortable with projects that require meticulous researching and fact-checking.
