I have a very diverse work history that includes managing the bookkeeping and prepress departments for a commercial print shop, running my own business manufacturing jewelry components, working in my husband's auction business, and becoming the principal broker of my own real estate company. I love finding the perfect combination of words to convey a message. To me, writing is a creative outlet not only to express myself, but to help others gather the information they need to make decisions, to learn something new, or to feel connected to other people in the same situation as themselves. To have my words bring comfort to someone, or help them expand their knowledge is the ultimate reward for a writer.
