Bio
Look around the Internet and you'll see how the English language has been mangled, often beyond recognition. It doesn't have to be that way.
There is nothing better than being able to communicate clearly, concisely and accurately. When everything comes together, it’s more than just writing, editing or blogging.
It’s storytelling.
I consider myself, above all else, a storyteller.
People hire me for their various communications needs because they want someone who will cut through the BS and help them communicate easily, efficiently and effectively.
How do I do this? Through the journalistic principles of honesty, accuracy, clarity and brevity. It started in high school when I uncovered a ballot-stuffing incident, resulting in the election being declared null and void. It continued in newspapers when people saw I had talents for asking the right open-ended questions and engaging in active, empathetic and sympathetic listening.
It goes beyond asking the standard who/what/where/when/how/why queries. There’s an emotional component to it. People find they can trust me to handle their sensitive information. They tell me, “I can’t believe I’m telling you this,” and it leads to better communication and collaboration because I show care, sensitivity, understanding and validation. Then I tell their stories with all the integrity, care and craftsmanship they deserve.
Since 1990, clients have trusted that I handle their information in a way that easily, efficiently and effectively tells their stories, informs their target audiences/demographics, sells their products and states the desired message so they can accomplish their goals.
I’ve done it for them, and I can do it for you. I invite you to browse my website, explore all the ways I can be of service, and contact me.
