I am a finance and real estate development professional currently working in leasing and space management projects with the federal government in Northern Virginia. Previously, I worked in economic development consulting and financial analysis for clients throughout the U.S. In these projects, I engaged in extensive writing, editing, research and analysis that went into final reports that were delivered to clients. My writing background includes freelancing in Eastern Europe in the mid-1990s and writing for a small daily newspaper for one year in 1993. I was trained in journalistic writing at the Defense Information School in 1988 and spent the next four years thereafter writing news articles for various Marine Corps publications. I hold an MBA in Finance from the George Washington University in Washington DC, while my undergraduate studies earned me honors distinction as a History major at the University of Arkansas. I recently became interested in writing again as a freelancer and am in the process of researching the market for opportunities. My home base is in DC/Northern Virginia.
