    I am a wordsmith with more than a decade of experience in multiple fields and genres. I’ve been a published author since 2013 and worked for six years as an award-winning news reporter and digital editor at the Greensburg Daily News. I have extensive experience with news articles, feature articles, copywriting, content writing, press releases, community news, editing at all levels, proofreading, data entry, transcription, AP format, rewriting content, reviews, and interviews, along with both fiction and nonfiction work from essays to novels. I am familiar but not an expert with SEO writing, content advertising, and keyword research. One of my specialties is a service I call comprehensive editing. It involves rewriting the first draft to polish it to a professional standard. I can match any style required and help authors tell their stories through dialogue and action within immersive, descriptive settings. I am used to working with deadlines and have a fast turnaround. Attention to detail is part of my routine and I produce work with minimal errors. Writing is my passion, and I believe I can use that to your advantage.

    I’ve always loved to read and write romance, fantasy and adventure. I have been a ghostwriter for a long time as well as writing several short stories of my own. From an early age, I was drawn to the magic of storytelling. I remember the first novel my father bought me was Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's stone, he saw an article in the Chicago tribune and noticed our birthdays were similar and that was enough for him to buy the book for me. That started my love for fantasy books. From there I read most of the popular YA books that spawned after Harry Potter blew up, like the Percy Jackson series and The Inheritance Cycle. I wanted to share my own stories with the world and begin writing short stories of my own. When I was a bit older my older sister introduced me to Nora Roberts and that started my love for romance novels as well. I specialize in romance, fantasy, and adventure but I dabble in other genres to challenge myself and continue to learn and grow. I try my best to weave intricate narratives that transport readers to realms where love knows no boundaries and adventure awaits at every turn. I try to add a sense of wonder and excitement, capturing the essence of epic quests and the tender nuances of romance with equal finesse. I grew up in Chicago and loved to explore the city and meet new people. I eventually moved to Colorado Springs and found new inspiration while exploring the natural beauty of the city and nearby small towns like Manitou Springs.
