Thank you, Patty. You are the reason I write. I enjoy connecting with readers and compelling them to read more, feel more, understand or believe more.

In my life, corporate writing is the science and the job. The fast pace and search-engine optimized demands of corporate communications thrill me. (If you know anyone who was more excited than me when the latest Associated Press Style Guide came out with new innovations like lower-casing ‘internet,’ you should hire them!) I know how to lock into business’ strategic objectives, select the best mediums and messages, and help them succeed.

As a freelance writer, I enjoy a wonderfully pleasing balance.

Feature writing fuels my heart. Articles about people who have survived catastrophic accidents, grown better gardens and wondered how to pray make a personal difference in the lives of others.
