I have a passion for taking the written word and crafting it into gold. I also enjoy photography and have a knack for getting people to talk to me. I am an award-winning journalist with 10+ years of newspaper, magazine, layout and design, assignment and copy editing, grant writing/research and photography experience. I have designed subscription forms and brochures, revamped a magazine and launched a newsletter. I also have organized concerts for a local radio station, and city events, such as the unveiling of a veterans memorial and the grand opening of City Hall.
