This passionate, news-driven wordsmith took a different road to work in the world of nonprofit advocacy for a while, then was downsized and meandered through Corporate America before realizing that the newsroom was where I wanted to return. I'm currently reside in the University area of Charlotte with a wealth of experience from freelance for a Salisbury daily to staff writer for a daily in Cabarrus County. I've written centerpiece and top-fold quality stories for municipal government, education news, lifestyles, health, arts & entertainment, religion and more, so my portfolio is thick and diversified. I'm very willing to work in a freelance or part-time staff writing position to prove my worth, but would appreciate an editor willing to work with a background with the soul of a newsie. I'm also willing to commute for the right opportunity to cover news again, then move to observe better the pulse of the community. Excellent resume, references and clip samples available upon request. Contact Monica at 704-490-2063 or prplpizzazz@hotmail.com for more information. (posted 3/28/08)
