With over 10 years of working in media & six years in PR

 

As a trained journalist, I learned my way around the likes of editors & publishers. I listened to every piece of advice they shared with me. And I learned to respect their wisdom. Before I knew it, I was writing one article after another; from real estate, to high-tech, to health & wellness. I only wrote about topics that appealed to me. But I always connected my interests to what I thought readers would care about reading. That's because I knew the articles were not all about me and my interests. And I still follow this this same methodology when I create web content, articles or promotional materials. It usually starts with an morsel of an idea that morphs into something bigger. And it always connects more people than I usually imagine.

 

I quickly turned to the web when the print world began to crumble --newspapers started to close or decrease circulation. Eventually I began working with small businesses, online publishers and anyone who needed quick copy.

 

I managed to hone all my skills and talents from a culmination of experience. I bring public relations experience from both the public and private sectors; sales & marketing from the corporate sector; and web editing from all of the above.

 

Graduated from Michigan State University with a Bachelors Degree in communications. I continually study my industry so that you won't have to. 

Writing projects include feature articles in newsprint, magazines, and trade journals. Web projects include developing web content with tight packaging that keeps readers reading; and refreshing old content to keep web sites relevant.

Exceptional project management skills and industry knowledge help me understand the project and meet the client's needs. Commitment to creating clever copy, hard work and above all, the clients.

Travel writing. With a greater focus on telling other peoples' stories from different lands. My newest projects deliver me all across the country and into new ones.
