This is an abridged version of my creative journey.
Want to hear the longer story? Here is the unabridged version.
Early in life, family and friends noticed my love of writing and frequently ask me to help them edit and/ or write academic papers with them. I've even made a buck or two off of it in college! Writing takes a great deal of finesse, it's an entirely new skill set when you are trying to mirror a style that is not your own.
When I was in grammar school, one of my English teachers turned me on to reading. In fact, my mother (who worked at my school) would somehow always bump into my as I was carrying a stack of books to checkout at the yearly book fair. When I entered high school, I was introduced to poetry through Shakespeare, Edgar Allan Poe, and Emily Dickinson. In 2008, I wrote my first poem, originally titled "Dear Ole Tommy" (which later ended up being a version of "Screams Never Heard"). From then on, I was intrigued by words and how I can construct them to have the most impact. I spent my college years learning about all mediums of writing, theatre, and creativity through class work and other extracurricular opportunities. During that time, my poetry and photography were published several times. Beyond college, I continued my creative work and currently use my creative mind as a generator of learning solutions for training programs in the coprorate universe. These days, my writing skills are using when creating training content such as process training or activities to help foster retention of learning.
As a creative mind, leader and team member, I effectively collaborate with a diverse range of team members by using adaptable communication styles and my personal zest. My day is powered by respect, humility, informed decisions, and humor to cut through the noise and work towards bringing harmony to discord.
