Farewell to Freelancing

Hello All!

I know it's been ages since I've updated my blog. That's mainly due to the whirlwind of changes in my life.

As if planning a wedding and running my own business were not enough, my fiancé is now being transferred to a Cisco Systems branch in Houston, TX.

The news has forced me to make a tough decision – to leave freelancing all together. During a visit to the city in March, I interviewed for a post with the University of Houston. Needless to say, I got it!

I will be starting in the UH Cullen College of Engineering on April 21 as the senior writer/editor of their magazine, Parameters. This is in addition to drafting content for marketing material and news for the college's online newsroom. I am extremely excited about the opportunity, but will miss all the people I’ve met and the interesting stories I’ve been a part of through freelancing.

It’s been something I’ve enjoyed full-time recently, and on the side since college. Thanks for the great experiences everyone! See some of my last assignments as a freelancer in Triangle Catalyst and Southern Neighbor magazines as well as on helpfulskills.com.

I'll continue to keep you all posted on my life’s developments here in my blog. Good luck to each of you!

Best,
Erin
