About Me
I graduated from George Mason University in May this year, earning a Bachelor of Arts degree in English, with a concentration in Creative Writing. I also minored in Japanese Studies. I graduated cum laude, and was on the Dean's List for seven out of my eight semesters at Mason.
Education
During my college years, I've taken many English courses in literature and creative writing, both fiction and non-fiction. I've also taken several years of Japanese, a year of Latin, and an introductory Film Studies course. At George Mason I've received a global education, studying anthropology, Asian history, world music, and Eastern religions.
Resume
I'm currently working part-time as a library page. I'm in the process of trying to find a full-time job, and my interests lie in writing/editing and library work. I enjoy the library environment because I can both work individually and work with a team or help customers locate information. I'm looking for a creative environment, full of interesting people and challenging projects that will further develop my current skill set or teach me new skills, as I'm already starting to miss college and I'm eager to continue learning in a work environment.
As I'd rather not have my whole work history available online, if you'd like my full resume,

Interests
I love TV and film, especially those of the sci-fi variety. Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Firefly, Doctor Who, Torchwood, Supernatural -- they're all good. Some of my favorite work during college was writing papers with a focus on film/television analysis. I also love writing (obviously), reading (mostly fiction), knitting (mostly scarves), and crocheting (I've been working on a blanket since last July). I'm always interested in developing new hobbies and learning new things. Actually, you could say that web desing started out as a hobby for me. I first learned basic HTML when I was a teenager in order to make websites for movies I was interested in. In more recent years, even though I haven't had very much formal training, I love trying to solve the puzzle of learning new code. Every year since 2006, I've tried to write a novel for National Novel Writing Month. Last year I reached my goal of 50,000 words. I'm quite proud of myself for that. Also, as you might be able to tell by now, I like to ramble.
