BIO
With 20+ years of professional writing and marketing experience, I craft content that engages, informs, and inspires—whether it’s an in-depth article, persuasive marketing copy, or a technical piece. My work encompasses SEO-driven content, sports information, and editorial projects across subjects I am passionate about: education, the outdoors, health, sports, and the vibrant 55+ community.
My expertise extends beyond writing to include social media strategy, public relations, graphic design, website development and management, photography, and video direction.
I’m passionate about delivering high-quality work on deadline, collaborating closely with clients, and refining every project until it shines.
