Before I decided to work as a writer, I worked as an accountant. I got my diploma in accounting and finance, and worked as an accountant for a number of years. Given my background in business, I naturally like to write about business and economic issues. I decided to pair my accounting diploma with a degree in journalism. My major was public relations. I have lots of good experience in journalism, covering hard news like politics, crime, health and education. Features are something I enjoy writing as well.
In this portfolio update, I’ll include several business articles I wrote. One reporter I worked with complimented me on my article on the state of the B.C. economy by saying “it didn’t make her fall asleep” like most articles usually did. If she found it interesting, I think I did a good job on it.
I’ve decided to move into different kinds of writing, and have found myself writing promotional articles and press releases, which is fun to do. I’ve got lots of interesting projects coming down the pipe and 2008 is looking like it will be a fun year.
On a slightly different note, a while ago I decided to modify my blog template slightly. I didn’t like the picture that came with this template, so I took one of my many photos (I enjoy sunrise and sunset photos, and Alberta has some incredible ones.) and modified it for my blog. This one happened to be a sunrise. Hope you like it.
