Ever since I learned to read at age four, I have been utterly in love with language. I remain a voracious reader, devouring everything from blogs to magazines to newspapers to books of all kinds. While I still haven’t found anyone who wants to pay me to read, I have turned my love of words into my work.

For two decades, I have been a professional writer and editor. In 2006, with a gorgeous baby girl at home and the support of my fantastic husband, I made the switch from full-time writer and editor to freelancer. I also began studies in coaching through the International Coach Academy.

While my family is my greatest source of joy, my passions involve expressing a story in one way or another—through art, blogs, food, movies, music, television, and theater. Lest you think I spend all my time with my nose in a book or in front of a glowing screen, I adore spending time outdoors and noticing the beauty all around.
