I am a Writer and Editorial Assistant for Reader's Digest. I have the wonderful opportunity to come to work everyday and report cutting-edge news as well as tell the stories of amazing people. My ultimate career goal is to not only continue writing, but to also have the opportunity to story edit. I also teach Writing and Literature part-time as an adjunct professor at Monroe College in New Rochelle.
