Sports article for MetBlogs: State of the Sharks

Author for San Jose Metblogs

In March 2009, because of my writing for CQ Central, I was asked to be a writer for San Jose Metblogs. My first article was a review for a vintage clothes store in San Jose, California.

Writer/Interviewer for CQ Central

In February 2009 I was asked to write for CQ Central, a website created to focus on the Cinequest Film Festival located in San Jose, California. I had written about Cinequest and reviewed their films on my personal blog for years, so I was happy to officially help out.

In 2010 I began interviewing filmmakers for CQCentral's "5 Question Interviews".

In 2010 several of the CQCentral writers had their own films showing at Cinequest so I was the sole writer on the website this year. All articles and interviews (posted with CQ Central as author) were done by me.
