I have degrees in both English (with a focus in modern studies) and psychology (focus in neuroscience). I have spent a year working professionally as a news copy editor and page desigener for a daily newspaper. My job requires speed, consistency, and great attention to detail. Before that, I worked as an Arts & Entertainment editor for a college newspaper of wide repute. I have written and edited hundreds of articles, reviews, and interviews dealing with the arts. I also have experiencing writing and editing articles for publication in science journals.
