Experience

Alia made the jump to freelance writing after determining that a path in public relations just wasn't her jam. A lifelong creative type, she's found great joy and professional fulfillment during her nearly 20-year career writing for sites like HowStuffWorks, Animal Planet, TLC, Rent., ApartmentGuide, and many corporate and non-profit clients. She has also been published on Yahoo!, CNN, and Google Discover. Alia has always taken a special interest in topics that affect people on a day-to-day basis, particularly as it relates to wellness, self-confidence, and relationships, and she actively curates her client roster to reflect those areas of expertise.

Education

Alia earned a bachelor's degree in journalism from Grady College of Journalism & Mass Communication at the University of Georgia.
