WRITING PORTFOLIO

As an enthusiast of the arts I've always enjoyed writing. I've done a lot of web-content writing for my own projects as well as for clients I've worked with in the world of web-design. My education has prepared me with report and technical writing practice as part of my computer forensics, law-enforcement, and information technology courses. I enjoy reading non-fiction but also enjoy reading and writing fiction, short-fiction, science-fiction, and fantasy.

My areas of expertise and interest are: computer forensics, cybersecurity, emerging technologies, information technology, report writing, criminal justice administration, law-enforcement, academic writing, creative writing, and more.
