I began writing professionally in 2002, once my kids were old enough to nap reliably. I leveraged my background in education and health to write books and articles for children and parents.
When the kids went off to school I began working with corporate and non-profit clients, writing communications materials and grant proposals.
I take a broad-based, client-centered approach to writing and editing. Informative or persuasive, friendly or academic, your goals drive my style.
