Award-winning journalist, editor and PR agent

I am an award-winning journalist, freelance writer, editor, and photographer who has 25 years of experience writing for newspapers, magazines, and websites. My work has appeared on MSN and other top sites. In the past year, I've also branched out into PR work. I find highly-qualified guests for podcasts and help websites get mentions and links on other websites to build their audience, traffic, and name recognition. As a former journalist and editor, I understand exactly what type of quotes publications are looking for, and I deliver that for my clients. Some of the awards I've won have been in the categories of headline writing, opinion pieces, humorous columns, feature stories, and news writing. I've covered education and parenting issues, financial news, and health and fitness articles during my career. Education has always been important to me, and I've done a fair amount of teaching. I've taught writing workshops for reporters and freelancers because I love to share the tips of the trade I've learned during the past two decades. I've also taught outdoor living skills, as well as water and fire safety, as a camp counselor for the Girl Scouts. I've written blogs for dozens of different websites, focusing on the topics of metal detecting, parenting, family issues, finances, decorating homes, and fitness. On a personal level, I am a devoted runner who has completed two half marathons. I'm a mother, metal detectorist, kayaker, and I take great pride in my work and keeping my clients happy. I am passionate about the written word and keeping people entertained while they learn something new.
