Personal Profile
Read on to learn a few things about me that may not be “resume” appropriate, but are things that paint a picture of just how perfectly I might fit at that empty desk, chair or beanbag in your office.
I was born in Nebraska (GO HUSKERS!), but grew up in a small town in Colorado; went back to Neb. for school, and ended up in Denver after I graduated. I got a degree in journalism because I have an unexplainable passion for words, and have been blending them into copy to grab the attention of various audiences for the past seven years.
