Professional/Personal Overview
I am terminally curious -- some would say nosy -- and I've written about politics, the arts, crime, integrating babies and pets, and created corporate communications and manuals for diverse publications as Cat Fancy, Today's Bride, Music Times, Readers Digest and Canadian Living. I have also written chapters for the American Red Cross Emergency Responder Manual, a Chapter Handbook for the Professional Writers' Association and translated by-laws into plain language. My clients include K-W Musical Productions, Samarins.com, the Professional Writers' Association and the Grand Philharmonic Choir. Whether writing personal essays, informative articles, instruction manuals or corporate communications, I love to learn new things while exceeding my clients expectations.
