My passion for writing blossomed as a child, grew throughout my higher education experience, and ripened into my professional career. Now-a-days, crafting thoughtful sentences and creating visually-appealing documents brings me personal and professional satisfaction. 

I’m savvy with Microsoft Office, Google Suite, and iWork. I’m also competent in Constant Contact, Hootsuite, and Canva and am comfortable working on both PC and Mac software.

​I'm a Certified  Freelancer with the International Association of Professional Writers and Editors.
