Trusted ghostwriter
I’ve also authored a number of books as a professional ghostwriter. Topics I’ve written about include:
Education
My education and continuing thirst for knowledge imbue me with a keen understanding of the way that the world works. My eclectic knowledge base enables me to adapt to a wide range of projects.
I attended Hunter College in New York City, during which I was nominated for the interdisciplinary Thomas Hunter Honors Program, as well as the Golden Key International Society. I majored in Creative Writing with a specialization in Fiction and graduated cum laude with a Bachelor’s of Arts in English Literature.
Renaissance Intellect
Aside from English Literature, I uniquely straddle the line between the liberal arts and the sciences. I’ve taken extensive coursework in:
- Cognitive and evolutionary psychology, and psychotherapy
- Ethology (the study of animal behavior)
- Cultural anthropology (the study of human culture)
- Religion (both Western and Eastern religions, like Judaism and Taoism)
- Media studies (including both film and television)
Since my graduation, I’ve continued to expand my knowledge of the way the world works, including continued study in evolutionary psychology, urban planning, and architecture.
Other Professional Achievements
With a decade of sales, training, and management experience behind me, I’ve consistently proven that I exceed all expectations. These are a few of my most pronounced achievements.
- As a Regional Manager at a London-based consulting firm, I spearheaded an international business expansion. I was given a stretch goal of reaching profitability in 3 months. I reached it in 2 months. I did this by recruiting a commission-only sales force (a feat in itself) comprised of fresh graduates with no job experience, then training and motivating them to sell. As a result of my leadership, my team smashed through company records. They reached competence 3x faster than other offices that were operational for 2–3 years. They also sold 2x as much as others.
- As a recruiter for an international language services company, I played a crucial role in the success of the company. In order to secure federal contracts, I recruited from communities that number as low as 0.0002% of the US population. In my first 90 days, I earned myself a 13% raise by exceeding the incumbent’s performance during high-volume recruitment by 26%. In all, the company expected me to reach my recruitment targets in 12 months—I reached my placement goals twice as fast as they thought possible, filling up their requisitions in just six months.
I’ve proven time and again that there are no obstacles that I can’t overcome with intelligence, ingenuity, and grit.
