Writing Samples

Email Blasts
As a Copywriter for babystyle.com, I conceptualized email blasts based upon the company's marketing needs, then
wrote copy and chose images for graphic artists to use in creating the final product. Here are some samples of
my work:
Swim on in...
Valentine's Day treats!
Baby's First Wardrobe
Here comes the sun...
Copywriting
I also enjoy writing more developed copy. Here two sample product descriptions based on a couple of games I enjoy
playing. This sample press release is based on a news broadcast I
recently heard.

Travel Writing
In the spring of 2003, I spent one glorious semester studying in Costa Rica. Upon my return I wrote several short travel articles
about the experience and posted them on a travel website called www.worldisround.com. You can view a listing of my articles
and learn more about the wonders of Costa Rican living here.

Translation
Between a bachelor's degree in Linguistics, a minor in Spanish and a lot of time spent bumming around latino countries,
my translation skills have gotten to be pretty good. Want proof? Here
is an English-to-Spanish translation of the prologue to Steven Pinker's "The Language Instinct", and
here is a Spanish-to-English translation of the introduction to the Royal
Spanish Academy's "Essential Grammar of the Spanish Language".

Academic Writing
As an Linguistics major I gained tons of academic writing, editing and research experience. Here is an excerpt from a
research paper I wrote during my senior year of college. And here is a short literary critique of Zora Neale
Hurston's work that I wrote for a homework assignment during my junior year.
