In-Class Assignment: One-page Biography

If someone gave you one sheet of paper to write about yourself, what would you share? Would you write differently if this were for a potential employer?

In the professional world, executive bios serve to "sell and tell" stories about who is running each company. To start off this semester, I'd like you to "sell and tell" me about yourself.

While not required, you'll see this in some of the examples below.

For inspiration, here are some examples pulled from the Internet:
