Hi! I am a Junior English and Communications double major from Duquesne University.
Every summer, my family and I travel to our uncle's farm in rural PA and spend our nights star gazing with my telescope. I've owned the Skyview Pro Telescope for many years and have had lots of experience adjusting and troubleshooting certain issues to keep the telescope working properly.
While this is an important hobby of mine, this project relates more heavily to my love of writing and my future goal of becoming a technical writer/editor. I've loved to write ever since I was a little girl in my fifth-grade poetry and short stories unit. In high school, my friends always asked me to proofread their papers for them and I found it incredibly fulfilling to help them improve their writing. I've also previously helped with content editing for multiple of my friends' fiction pieces. I love the process of creating streamlined written communication to effectively convey information to a specific audience.
I am currently a member of Duquesne's student-run creative arts journal :Lexicon, and plan to get a job at my university's writing center at the start of the fall semester for additional editing experience.
