About me


Over 25 years of experience in advertising, web content, editorial and advertorial work!


I dislike formal resumes, so let’s just get acquainted over a cup of virtual coffee.

I first realized I wanted to be a writer when I was in middle school and heard the teacher read my essays aloud to the entire class. When, at 16, a large newspaper published a piece I wrote, I was hooked!

A degree in English Literature and a diploma in Marketing & Public Relations lured me into advertising. It would keep me enthralled for 20 years. I went from copy cub to creative director, earning accolades and awards along the way. I helped create entire advertising campaigns for national brands. Writing sales-oriented copy that included print ads, brochures, newsletters, billboards, commercials, sales presentations and much, much more.

In the mid-90s, a life change brought me to the West Coast. I turned my writing skills to advertorial and editorial work and have since written stories that cover the gamut from business and personal profiles to real estate and community. I invite you to read some of the selections from over hundreds of stories that have been published.

I have also teamed up with graphic designers and web designers along the way and have helped create web content and advertising copy for print ads and brochures.
