 Studying
English and Writing
at Methodist University
"Going back to college as a non-traditional student is never
easy, but the environment at Methodist College [now Methodist University]
was very welcoming. I put my writing degree to work in the related
field of communications and marketing. Many of my freelance articles
are in print, and I’ve been planning special events and writing
marketing and research info as well as web site articles, primarily
for Compaq Computer Corp. I create the HP New England quarterly
newsletter and manage web content. I also coordinate HP’s
annual key technology sponsorship of the Boston Marathon.”
