Growing up, I had one passion that surpassed all others: words. I spent my time reading books rather than sitting in front of the television. I dreamt up complex stories. I learned grammar rules, sentence structure, and language aesthetics. I even occasionally flipped through the dictionary, improving the vocabulary that would later be utilized in my stories. While many things have changed over the years, the young girl who loved words lives on. One of my favorite things about being a writer and editor is the constantly evolving nature of the work. While someone can certainly master the current grammar rules in multiple style formats, the rules of grammar are always changing and language syntax can always be improved. Therefore, I am looking for a career where I could continue growing as a writer and editor in ways I had never imagined. And by consistently expanding my knowledge, I will be able to ensure that all publications meet the highest professional standards.
