FSU English Department
In my role with the Florida State University Department of English, I produce content for the department's website. These articles center around departmental news and often take the shape of alumni or faculty profiles. Though hired as a writer, I have taken on a significant portion of editorial work; both facets of my work can been seen in the samples below.
