Blind Prophecy

Over the past ten years, I have worked in a variety of positions related to advancing business and social goals. I am confident that my project management, writing, editing and special event planning skills shine through in my resume. From my work as a professional journalist and editor to my dedication to nonprofit organizations, I have cultivated a love for marketing and communications efforts and an ever-increasing interest in the legal field.

I have also served extensively as both an official organizational spokesperson as well as a general advocate on issues related to the LGBT community. For examples of my appearances in the press, visit the links below:
