I.M. -- Finland '08 - I. Maki
I am currently pursuing degrees in philosophy and anthropology. I am a carpenter by trade, and have close to ten years of experience in the construction field, particularly in remodeling, and also in small business management. I was born in Finland, but live in South Florida where I am currently a student at Florida Atlantic University.
I write fiction and non-fiction, some of each published in both online and print media. I am also a freelance translator from Finnish to English. My goal is to be able to cover the costs of my pursuits in higher education with my writing and translation work.
