>> So, I went to school at Millersville University.
I graduated in 2010 with a degree in business administration and marketing.
And I chose to study business and marketing because I've always had an interest sort
of in the aspect of human behavior and more importantly why do people buy the products
that they do, which is why I chose to go for marketing with business rather
than something like management or finance.
And I do have some background in writing including writing freelance
for different travel agencies and magazines.
And also an English background.
I used to teach English as a second language for relocated refugees here in Lancaster.
So, I graduated in 2010.
Shortly thereafter I moved to Alaska where I was working
for the National Outdoor Leadership School.
And I was leading month long wilderness expeditions
with college aged students teaching leadership and environmental science.
After that kind of transient lifestyle got to be a little bit too draining.
I took a job as a program specialist for a group home
for four individuals with intellectual disabilities.
And that's kind of where I started to hone my writing skills because I was writing a lot
of reports for the county and state as well as superiors at the organization, family members,
and, you know, different people like that as well as supervising a team of 15 team members
that were providing care for the gentlemen that lived at the home.
