Hello, and welcome! I have been working in the photography world for nearly 20 years, with my clients ranging from models, clothing designers, corporate photographers, the list goes on. While I began in front of the camera, I'm currently strictly on the 'behind the scenes' train and primarily focusing on editing. I have begun working with an array of different styles of photography recently and have loved every edit I've been lucky enough to take the time on.
I pride myself on my client satisfaction rate, quick turnaround times, and vast skill set. Whether it is a simple edit or something more complex, I love a new challenge and strive to bring a great finished product to the table.

Retired, energized professional with a career that includes experience in mainframe and PC programming, all Windows Office applications including Access, Adobe Lightroom and Photoshop, (in retirement, I’ve been dedicating more time to pursuing my lifelong passion for photography), Mac and Windows based computers, virus and spyware removal tools, computer user training, radio broadcasting (music, news and production), customer service and a small business owner.
Whether training staff, troubleshooting issues, writing code, or producing radio content, I’ve always focused on delivering clarity (explaining issue resolutions in layman’s terms), service, and results.
I am looking for part-time opportunities helping small businesses, teams or communities with business software applications, hardware issues, collating data and other technical issues or media work.
