Rhonda Alexander

Illinois, United States

I am a freelance writer/reporter and I'm loving it! After working in corporate America for over 10 years, I went back to school to earn a second graduate degree – this one in journalism -- since I've always been a storyteller. Retooling my skills and folding in various multimedia elements to tell a story in multiple formats has prepared me for the career of my dreams!

I have also added a certification in nutrition and personal training to my repertoire since most of the articles I write focus on health and wellness. Of course, I enjoy reporting and writing about a variety of subjects, but I'm drawn to the health industry-probably because that's the industry I worked in for over 10 years. Added to that, the nature of our health has a ripple effect on every aspect of living and our community as a whole. It may seem individual, but the world is impacted by society's state of wellness.

Thanks for checking out my profile, but now I'm going to check on my wheatgrass–another of my passions. I recently started my own wheatgrass garden because I could no longer stand the thought of paying $3 per shot when I could do it myself. That's another of my passions–saving money! Yes, I love life and I have a lot of passions. When you get to know me better, you'll see, I'm always going to surprise you with unique–and some say, eccentric–interests.
