Examples of my Work

If you're here to look at some examples of my (writing) work, I've included a few links below. Please note that all of these submissions are from my days in University - I have written significant amounts since then; it just so happens that the majority of that writing is for my job, and, for obvious reasons, I can't post these examples.

Non-Fiction: Semester Abroad Paper
This is the longest of all of my examples, but one of my proudest accomplishments. In my Junior year, I studied abroad for one semester. I had an internship at a publishing company in England, and below is a link to the paper I wrote once I returned home. This paper houses my unique travel and work experiences as well as a creative spin on what could be a very long and dull topic (the differences between editing in America and England).

Research: An Insight into Dracula
This paper was one of the most interesting topics I had the experience of working on at University. In my Sophomore year, I read Dracula and had to write a term paper that surrounded the book and its cultural ties. Why was it so interesting to me? First, I absolutely loved the book and have read it several times since. Second, my chosen topic (Why Dracula Chose to Vampirize Women instead of Men) was one that had been discussed several times but never once from the perspective I took on the book.

Proposal: The University should provide Vegetarian Options in the Cafeteria
This was a proposal (fictitious, as it was never sent to anyone at the University) for my University's cafeteria to provide more vegetarian options in the dining hall. This was strictly an assignment for a professional writing class; however, I was very passionate for the cause as I am a vegetarian (and was also a vegetarian at the time of writing this) and my University had very few vegetarian options available, even less of which were actually healthy.

Fiction: Cry Like a Curlew
After I came home from studying abroad in Europe, I had a travel bug. Just over a year later, I went to Australia by myself - after a series of events, I ended up on Great Keppel Island, just off the coast of Queensland. I spent 3 months on this island, hiking, swimming, kayaking, meeting locals, and relaxing on a beach. It was there I met a Woppaburra woman (the original tribe of the Great Keppel Islands) - and she briefly told me of the history of the islands. This bloody history inspired me to do some research and write this fictitious story based on the Woppaburra people of Great Keppel Island.
