    I’m the friendly, polite person who is always silently correcting everyone’s written and spoken grammar. As a former collegiate student newspaper editor, I have a passion for writing and editing. I’m a health care business development professional by day, assistant writer as a side hustle. I love helping companies build brand or product descriptions, assisting in editing resumes and term papers, and helping creative thinkers get their thoughts efficiently on paper. I also built and wrote my own fitness and healthy living blog for 8 years. The blog has since shut down since I became a working mom, but it hit a noteworthy 124,000 visits/month at its highest volume. I was highlighted as Fitness Magazine's "Bloggers We Love" Feature Blogger in November 2011, and I was a FitFluential Ambassador, Love Grown Foods Blogger, and Healthy Living Blogs Network Member. I'm creative, collaborative, and hardworking. I'd love the opportunity to write, proofread, or copy write for you!
