I've always wanted to tell stories and have spent time honing my writing skills to be able to do this well. I have training and experience writing in many different formats and for a variety of audiences. Below are some examples of my writing that were done for informational, instructional, and news purposes.

Early in my career, I wrote several news articles for a local weekly newspaper in New Jersey. For this article on a high school color guard team, I interviewed students and their coaches to report on their performance in a recent competition. The purpose of the article was to engage readers about community events. This article appeared in the West Orange Chronicle.
In another article I wrote for the local paper, I interviewed town officials about the reason for building a new school and the status of its construction. I also interviewed parents and townspeople living near the school to report on reactions to it from multiple points of view. The purpose of this article was to keep the public informed about what was happening in the town. This article appeared in the West Orange Chronicle.
