It may be hard to believe, but it is difficult to write about myself. I have a LinkedIn page that shows my work history, and hundreds of writing samples across on this site and others.

“Really,” she thinks, “Shouldn’t my writing speak for itself?”

If it were only that easy. While you can read selected writings in my portfolio, you’ll likely want to know something about me before you reach out.

I have been a writer since before I could write. My mother once told me that as a small child I told her all kinds of stories about characters only I could see and hear.

​

Once I could hold a pen, I wrote poems, lyrics, school newspaper articles, research papers. I was first published in a book of student creative writings in middle school and I was hooked. I won an award for a series I wrote about Alcoholics Anonymous in my high school paper. I wrote and wrote and won some more awards and people kept telling me I was pretty good at it.

​

I spent the first decade of my career working for public relations agencies on accounts you likely know by name. It was a challenging, demanding and exciting. We wrote all day under exacting pressure and I loved it.
