Bio
With 5 years experience working for the Communication Consulting division of a global industry, 5 as a freelance writer consultant, and 10 as a high school teacher of English, I've spent over 2 decades honing my writing, editorial, and proofreading skills. My last position was with AON Human Capital Consulting, where I worked as a Communication Specialist from June 2004 to March 2009. I have an MA in General Psychology and am in the process of applying to a program to become licensed as a Mental Health Counselor in New York State. My interests in writing and psychology have always fed off each other to mutually beneficial effect - i.e. psychological knowledge lends my writing authority, and literature provides me a window through which to view psychological concepts in action.
One way or the other, I've been writing all my life, but that book I was "meant" to write still hasn't materialized amid family, career, and other responsibilities. There's also the fact that while I'm a good analytical writer of creative non-fiction, I have yet to find my "voice" as a writer of fiction. Currently laid off, I'm exploring my options while hunting for work - and that elusive fictional voice.
