Professional Biography
I am a graduate student at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette pursuing my MA in English with a concentration in creative writing. Though my primary focus is short fiction, I also have a strong background and interest in creative nonfiction. Having earned my BA in mass communications at the University of Louisiana at Monroe with a focus in print journalism provided me with a lot of experience in nonfiction writing for the media. It is my goal to link what I learned in that program with what I will be learning in my nonfiction workshop, which is geared toward travel essays, memoirs and things of that sort. Below I have included a resume that outlines my goals as a professional writer and teacher much more clearly with more detail.
