Salut!
I’m Boris and I am a French/Canadian/American citizen and UNC-Chapel Hill journalism graduate living in Durham. Ya Dig?
Let’s see. I embrace my cultural heritage. I am fluent in French–although my fellow countrymen would frown upon my lack of cooking skills. Anyway, I love to stay active and coach basketball in Carrboro, and I am involved with my community as I also tutor adults with reading disabilities.
Really, I’m just trying to make my corner of the world a bit better.
Professionally, I come with a print journalism background with stints at the Carroll County Times in Westminster, Md., and the Triad Business Journal in Greensboro. After exhaustion engulfed me, I sought other avenues to use my writing and reporting skills.
Now I am the Web content editor for the North Carolina Biotechnology Center in Research Triangle Park, N.C. The Biotechnology Center is the world’s first government-sponsored organization developing the biotechnology industry. So there is some distinction in that!!!!
I perform almost every task you can think of from writing news releases to creating new pages to leading tour groups! And my employers were so kind to pay for my Web Master Certificate program classes at North Carolina State University.
Enrolling in “Writing for Digital Media” is part of my master plan to eventually professionally edit an online music publication like Pitchfork. This class will help me to write more Web compelling copy.
Let’s see. Ah, yes. My pet peeves:
- Those who cannot use “well” and “good” correctly.
- The Baltimore Ravens and Oakland Raiders.
- Those who do not say “please” and “thank you.”
Cheers!
