About Me


After years and years in the clinical research field I began to reflect on my dreams deferred. My joy, passion and love has always been writing. Not believing that I could make a living by just writing, I always pursued jobs where writing was integral. But it was never what I wanted to write.

I did some freelance work as shown on my Portfolio page, but it never fully satisfied my writing bug.

So, I quit.

I began writing immediately and published my first book, Prepping for the Rest of Us, a nonfiction beginners guide to preparing your home and family to endure the effects of natural disasters. As disruptive and devastating weather events began happening more and more, I realized that I was totally unprepared. Surveying friends and family I learned that I certainly wasn't the only one! The book is directed to those who never thought they would have to prepare and viewed "preppers" as a fringe group that had nothing to do with them.  Times have changed!

In addition to my personal writing projects I freelance as an editor and copywriter.  I love working with words and helping clients.

I make my home in the beautiful Finger Lakes region of upstate New York with my love and my naughty little dog, Millie.

My writing portfolio includes a non-fiction book, technical pieces, blog posts and web content. Topics I've covered include everything from fashion and travel, cosmetics, finance and self help. Researching and writing on a myriad of topics is my forte and my joy.
