I have over 30 years of professional writing and editing experience since I landed my first job in public relations in San Francisco when I was in my mid-twenties. I successfully completed a range of writing and editing projects over the course of my career, which has included: a senior management position within the University of California at San Francisco; the owner/principal of my own management and organizational consultancy; and, livestock and poultry rancher and business owner.
I have graduate degrees in both English Literature and Counseling Psychology, and I am formally trained in the Chicago Manual of Style, Modern Language Association (MLA), American Psychological Association (APA) and Associated Press (AP) writing guidelines.
