Jordan Phillips
Write. edit. art.
I graduated from the University of Central Florida with a major in Sociology and a minor in Writing & Rhetoric. My passion is in writing and I am looking to pursue careers in the writing industry whether in editing, publishing, or writing. Or in the sociological field where I can use writing as a way to convey information to different audiences.
I enjoy trying new things in different fields (as you can see below) because I like to be challenged and to learn new skills.
