So who am I?

I'm a creative and intuitive offering support to other creatives and people seeking more from life. How?

I'm an editor — always ready to help authors, bloggers, and entrepreneurs put their best word forward. If you dream of publishing your book, I can help! See my offerings under editorial services and beta reading.

I'm a writer — I have varied interests and love to write about them. I'm writing my first book now about how I survived a major trauma and changed my life for the better afterward. I also started a blog for this site in late 2022.

I'm a threshold singer — with a small group, I sing softly at bedside in hospice, bringing comfort to the dying, their families, and caregivers.

I'm an artistic soul — whether I'm singing Mozart's Requiem with a concert chorale or designing prayer shawls or inspirational jewelry, I like to use my talents to help people find beauty, peace, and inspiration in their lives.

Background

I worked for more than 20 years in positions varying from legal assistant, development associate, or analyst with a major tech firm. A common theme with every job has been perfecting written communication and analyzing language for its best use. In one past role, I studied how people use language and then trained machine learning algorithms to understand it in order to get better search results. See my work experience on LinkedIn.

When I decided to start my own business, I took training in proofreading, copy editing, and line editing and continue to keep my skills fresh with courses and webinars offered by experts in my field.

I am more than a list of qualifications, though.

In early 2018 a mentor asked, "If today were your last day alive, what would you regret?" My answer was that I was living for other people's goals, not my own—and so my editing and creative business was born.

I approach everything I do with integrity, compassion, and understanding, and I want to make a difference in the world. I believe that supporting creativity and the arts is a great way to do that. If you are a writer, I can help your vision become a reality with top-notch editing support. If you are a publisher (large or small press) or publishing services provider, I can help you, too!

So pull up a chair, have a good visit, and let me know if you want to chat about how I can help you with any of your projects.

All the best!
