As a high school student, I distinctly remember being in the library... and being the only student excited to work on the research project we had been assigned. I absolutely loved the library... So many books, so many words... So much knowledge. Some things never change.

It is no surprise that my favorite teacher in high school taught English! It was in Mr. Carter's classroom that I firmly decided I would be a journalist. I headed off to college (which would end up being the first of three degrees) to major in Communications with a minor in Journalism. During my undergrad, I was the editor of a college newsletter, the co-editor of the college literary magazine, and a staff writer for the college newspaper. There was no doubt about it... I loved to write. And, I love to learn, still - which is a huge part of writing! I now hold a BS, a MS, and a MA!

So far, I haven't officially made a full-time career from writing but it has remained a sincere passion and source of enjoyment for the long haul. The most memorable (and most odd) writing job I held was at a small town newspaper where my job was to write headlines. Yes... Only the headlines. Needless to say, it was a fun but challenging job because the headlines always had to fit within a certain number of characters. To this day, I still don't know how I was able to come up with those "catchy" but character-limited titles! Fast-forward to layout applications with leading and kerning - those character-limited headlines are now a thing of the past.

My writing over the years has spanned everything from brochures to catalogs, to marketing and promotional pieces to web content, etc. I have written tons of cover letters for folks, created resumes, and flyers - you name it... I have probably written it for someone. And, I am a published author with my first book available via the Barnes & Noble website. My book is titled "When the Tide is Low: 30 Days of Biblical Encouragement for those Who Love the Ocean".

I love writing in general and particularly love learning about people and writing their life stories. We all have a calling, a special purpose... a life story. I hope you will allow me to help you write about yours. I offer a variety of writing services...
