"I learned that you should feel when writing, not like Lord Byron on a mountain top, but like a child stringing beads in kindergarten - happy, absorbed, and quietly putting one bead on after another." -- Brenda Ueland --Since I began putting one word after another, my work has been published in newspapers, magazines and digital publications with an international audience. I have a background in corporate communications, developing informative but FUN newsletters, biographies and marketing communications designed to inspire feedback and results.As the owner/project manager of a small LLC, I've acquired the budgeting, marketing and scheduling skills that put my words to work.I've been fortunate to enjoy a diverse subject area, including: Charities and non-profits, luxury design and lifestyles, financial news, real estate, private schools, gardening & landscaping, cultural venues, senior living, healthcare and biographies. And I've had the chance to interview a few famous people along the way. Once I got over the nerves, it was great fun! I'm an enthusiastic, experienced and published photographer with an emphasis on capturing solo travel adventures.
