Cheri Orange

Writer

United States

One of my favorite writing memories was getting my first byline, as an Editorial Intern at the California Apparel News Group. At that time I was an honors student at FIDM and I was an editor for the Nordstrom Glendale Gazette newsletter.

Another of my exciting writing ventures was being a contributing writer - and landing my first cover story for the American Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai.

I earned a bachelor’s degree in Liberal Studies from San Diego State University, a Certificate in Marketing, and a Certificate in Digital Marketing from the University of California San Diego Extension. I’m devoted to continuous learning.

When I'm not journaling or exploring different cultures, you’ll find me enjoying foodie experiences with my miracle husband, or practicing Ashtanga yoga.
