I am an avid believer in life-long learning and want everyone I encounter to feel inspired by life as a teacher. I am a dedicated and hard-working professional with over ten years of experience in higher education and training, distance education, academic and career advising, leadership and mentoring, resource management, website and system management, writing and editing, and project coordination. My goal is always to work with students to help them make empowered decisions that will positively impact their edicational and career goals. I also work as a free-lance writer and editor. Although I have incorporated writing and editing into my work in higher education, I am especially passionate about working with the genres of spiritual writing or self-help, military writing, memoirs, and children's writing. I love working with authors to help them turn their creations into books that are readable and sellable.
