As a Journalist I am professional, charming, analytical, truth oriented, and ready for the future of writing. I am well knowledgeable on the dynamics of how modern day society works and I am ready to show my perspectives as well as engaging in the perspectives of others with my writing. The foundation of Journalism is Truth, and the origin of Journalism was to Unearth all Truths and deliver it to others. I have continued education on subjects such as Business, NEWs Broadcasting, Philosophy, Social Studies and even Culture.
My many years in assisting people in the medical field, I am well adapted and educated on how to work with people of all types and backgrounds, making me professionally diverse and versatile. I had intense training on everything from "Blood born pathogen's and how to be healthy" down to courses on how to communicate and take care of people within a business.
