Writing Samples

Copywriting
I wrote these two sample product descriptions based on a couple of games I enjoy
playing. This sample press release is based on an NPR 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 great travel website called worldisround.com. You can view a listing of my articles
and learn more about the wonders of Costa Rican living here.

Technical Writing
You can view a short excerpt of an employee handbook I wrote from scratch 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.
