About Me

Story-telling is my passion. I was always curious as a child, to the point of being rude at times (so I'm told.) Call it a side effect of being in the 'digital generation' - I think everyone has an interesting story in them somewhere, and I love finding and sharing it.

I am a self-starter who thrives on challenges and loves learning. Working in profit and non-profit environments I've written a variety of marketing and public relations copy including brochures and guides, Web sites, social media plans and e-mail newsletters. I enjoy working in a team environment and collaborating across disciplines.
