Portfolio ends here due to disk quota constraints for PDF links. Previous experience includes feature layout (Quark), short news writing, arts reviews (movies mostly). If you've read this far, I also presently do some, errr, advertorial work. I don't link to it either.

Does that makes me a snob? (Yes / No : circle one and pass the note back to me before recess.)

Addendum: I'm linking to this choice news article. Hard-hitting, republished across the country on the student press.
