I am a writer, an editor, an administrator, an organizer, and a marketer from a background that is both heavily business-oriented and highly creative.

I love and respect the written word. Reading, writing, and editing have always been my favorite pastimes. Having always known that I would work with books in some capacity, I have continually done just that, starting with my first job at Plunkett Research, a publisher of industry guides for academic and corporate audiences. There, wearing many hats, I not only edited, but conducted renewal marketing campaigns, managed online postings, formatted e-books, edited chapters, and conducted extensive research that comprised the corporate profiles constituting the bulk of each guide. Adept at administrating and organizing data and people, I also trained new staff and put together employee manuals. Through my experience there, I was credited as Senior Writer/Editor of nearly a dozen published guides, and Managing Editor of one particular guide on the financial industry. Skilled in book marketing, I eventually earned the title of Manager of Research and Marketing Projects, carrying out more extensive industry research and managing all marketing collateral. 

Since those early days, I have acted as content editor for Worthing Brighton Press, a business publisher who handled David Weekley's "How to Build a Home without Getting Hammered," worked in publication management for the Rice Building Institute at Rice University, excelled in regional marketing management for the corporate office of Texas State Optical (a network of over a hundred independent optometric practices), and have transformed blog posts into a full-length book for Grammy-nominated music producer Gary Powell and business strategist Andrea Kates. I have also managed, edited and written website content for several clients, and have acted as an integral force behind the conception of a publishing platform for a proven business strategist. I actively and passionately write poetry, short stories, and personal essays, and am nearing the completion of my memoir, which explores my experience of being a twin.
