Bio
Somebody told me I should put a bio on my website. They told me I should write it in third person. “Sounds more professional,” they said. I didn’t listen.
I’m a journalism student at Webster University, due to graduate in May 2010. I write. I also take photos. And video. I’m pretty good on the Internet. I Tweet. What more can I say?
Want personal info? I’m originally from Bosnia. War sucks, as does being a refugee. I lived in Germany for 5 years in the 90’s. They kicked us out, but I took their language with me (and a taste for bad techno music). We had to pick between the US or going back to Bosnia. We picked the US. Two years later Bush was elected. Tickets to Bosnia were expensive.
My Goals
I’m actually a very serious person, interested in writing very serious stories. However, if you don’t giggle at least once while reading this page, I have failed at life.
My forte is digging up information. I do this frequently. When I talk to people, it is to have them tell me things they’re not supposed to. Machiavelli would be proud.
A good day for me is seeing my Byline on a story I care about and worked hard for. A bad day is seeing my Byline on a story and being surprised.
Freelancing
I know most editors hate freelancers. I know most freelancers hate editors. I have done my share of turd polishing, and I don’t want to put anybody else through that. I write so you don’t have to. Hire me?
Technical Skills
I blog. I use a DSLR. I shoot and edit video. I learned HTML in 1998, and Spanish in 1999. Need more proof of technical skills? When I was 13 I thought I would grow up to be a Hacker. I taught myself 3 programming languages and started committing felonies. However, when I was 15 I discovered girls.
