Writing. I love it. I am currently studying Communications at Trinity Western University. I've also had a wide and varied set of writing experience. I've written for sundry publications ranging from my university's newspaper to one of the United States' oldest magazines. I've also written numerous hobby articles online, as well as material for my commercial website.

Some of my work is listed here. For a more complete list, please contact me.

HONOLULU magazine:

I had the pleasure of working with HONOLULU over the summer of 2007. According to the magazine,

"Honolulu is among the handful of publications in the U.S. that have chronicled the events of an entire century. It is, in fact, the oldest magazine in the State of Hawai`i. A quality, four-color magazine, it reaches Hawai'i's best educated and most affluent residents, as well as its most sophisticated visitors. Each month the magazine takes an unblinking look at contemporary isues."

Mars' Hill newspaper:

Mars' Hill is the official student newspaper of Trinity Western University and was the Associate Collegiate Press' Newspaper of the Year in 2005. I've written for the Mars' Hill numerous times over the past few years. According to TWU,

"Mars' Hill has been operating as TWU's official student newspaper for over a decade. It has received numerous awards from the Associated Collegiate Press, College Media Advisers and the Canadian Community Newspaper Association."
