Hi there, my name is Monica. I am a recent college graduate with Bachelors degrees in journalism and political science. Through my education, I was able to build a strong foundation in writing and editing. I am highly attentive to detail, and enjoy writing for a wide range of topics and categories. My formal education is in news-style writing, but outside of that experience I am also an avid writer of poetry, social media posts for my current job, and writing in general for leisure. The topics that I have experience writing for range from business, pandemic coverage, opinion and review pieces, nature related topics, and more. I have provided some of my work examples on my profile that showcase the diversity and flexibility of my writing capabilities.
Aside from where my experience lies, I am very interested in expanding my portfolio to many different types of writing such as blog posts, lifestyle related articles, nature and outdoors content, and marketing for products of every day use. I am very open to any opportunity I am presented, and will provide the highest quality work. I take great pride in being a passionate, determined, and fast-paced writer, so I am happy and eager to take on any task I am assigned. Additionally, I am committed to presenting the truth and facts of a situation through my writing. I have thorough experience with research and interviewing individuals to gather necessary information that allows for the highest level of transparency in my writing.
Please feel free to explore my previous work samples, as well as my published articles for sale to get an idea of my writers voice and range of categories that I have experience writing for.
