Background Information

I began writing as a career path after my son and I moved to Mexico in 2004. First it was freelance articles, then an eBook and blog on living in Baja, then a niche website on living and traveling in South America –

Moving back to the U.S. in May, 2012 brought new goals and ambitions with my current focus back on freelancing. Copy editing, feature stories, managing a team of writers, developing a WordPress website from scratch… tell me what your needs are.

I enjoy creating informative, fun and visually enticing content and am skilled with computers. Upon graduating in 1997 with a B.A. degree in Communications from the University of Washigton, I worked 3 1/2 years as a front-end Web developer for companies such as Microsoft, InfoSpace and others.

I can provide quality photographs or other compelling visuals to accompany any written work. Cut and paste the link to view my Flickr account:
