About Me

Rhi (pronounced like the ‘re’ in re-do) is short for Rhiannon. The ‘B’ is short for Bowman. Rhi B. is me, and I’m the only me I know how to be.

I am a goal oriented, ambitious young woman reaching for my stars. I am also a student, an intern, a newly wed, a progressive environmentalist, mother of two spoiled rotten cats, a political activist, a decedent of quiet, hardworking Midwesterners, daughter of a continent-hopping Air Force brat and step-daughter to a gun-totin’, paranoid good ‘ol boy… for starters.

I am working hard to get out of college (graduation is May 9, 2009) and on with the business of freelance writing. Trading words for money is a lifelong dream. So, after a few false starts and allowing life to rough me up a bit, I decided my time in this space is too short to dance around my bliss when I could fling myself headlong into it instead.

And, that’s what I do: I wake up each morning and fling. Sometimes things go splat and sometimes things stick. Meanwhile, I am learning as much as I can about the freelance life, hustling to keep up with my various assignments for local publications and learning as much as I can about digital photography, design (via Adobe’s CS4 Professional Suite), networking and marketing.
