I am a 24 year old mother of two beautiful children. I work full time at an insurance company, and I am attending college for a B.S. in Public Health, a minor in Spanish, and Pre-Medical Certificate. However, my true loves are writing and music. I considered majoring in English, but I disliked the myriad of professors who wish essays to contain no creativity, whatsoever. I am fairly proficient at poetry, blog writing, and creative writing. I am also an excellent proofreader; I do this on a very consistent basis for all of my college peers; I did it for all of my friends in high school as well. I have never written an entire book, but I am on my way to finishing my first. Thanks so much for reading my description and considering me for your freelance position!
