When you need content created for your website, magazine, newspaper or marketing materials, you need a real wordsmith. You need a writer with the skills to develop ideas and make them come to life.I can't remember a time when I wasn't fascinated by words. From the stories about my first mystery heroine, Nancy Drew, to the sports page in my favorite newspaper, I love the endless combinations of words and what can be done with them.Presently you can listen for my fingers flying over the keyboard while I tell stories that matter in people's lives. From food to faith to finance and beyond you can read my work in Midtown Living Magazine, Cary Living Magazine, American Express OPEN Forum, Intuit QuickBooks, Northwestern Mutual, EiEi Home, CanDo Finance, Kabbage and more.I also write a weekly column in my regional daily newspaper, The News & Observer, about matters of faith. That means I am regularly interviewing some of the most inspiring people I've ever met.For 20 years I wrote television news copy each day which forces you to break down information into digestible nuggets and economize on words while telling an understandable story. My crisp, clear and readable copy is one of my hallmarks today.I also manage the operations of Fight for 1 of Us, a non-profit that provides non-medical financial assistance for patients being treated for women's cancers. That's the spot in the world where I'm trying to do some good.In this multi-platform world I am called a lifestyle writer, a content marketer, a digital content creator, a freelance journalist, a columnist and a reporter. But here's what I really do. I work with words.
