    Intro

    Intro

    As I move along in my career, I've decided to keep an online portfolio of all my writings and any recorded stories or relevant pieces to demonstrate my abilities.

    About Me

    I've been reading books and novels since I was a child. I still enjoy a good novel every now and again, though, admittedly, social media has a greater impact on my life now.

    I've been writing (fictional) stories for as long as I can remember. In third grade, we were assigned a project of composing and illustrating our own short stories. My original idea was far more complex and longer than what ended up on paper, but it did inspire me to start creating my own little fictional adventures for fun.

    In college, I discovered news radio and an interest in journalism was born. I was with KCSB radio for two years and only graduating and moving out of Santa Barbara prevented me from staying longer. I consume news from multiple sources every day and I even like to study various writing styles by sports journalists.

    If you find anything interesting in this portfolio, please feel free to contact me. I am always available via email at robyn.jftc@gmail.com.
