I guess I’d have to call myself a pro-blogger, as that’s where most of my income comes from these days. Another chunk comes from freelance journalism and copywriting: before that I was a PR girl, and before that, a newspaper reporter. Before all of those, of course, I was a call centre worker, but I try not to think about that too much…

Full time political science student, so writing a politics / current events blog could be considered part of my schooling I suppose.

Maybe im not a blogger, just a really over-zealous student.
