A BIT ABOUT ME

My Story

What sets me apart from the competition is simple - my attention to detail and unwavering dedication to my clients. With each project, I take the time to understand the subject matter in order to achieve optimal results, and I guarantee to deliver the work within your timeline.

​

My professional background is in administrative support, office management, and network administration.  For over 40 years I was responsible for writing or proofing and editing professional meeting minutes, policies and procedures, standard operating procedures, website copy, e-learning copy and dialogue, newsletters, blog posts, marketing materials, general correspondence, contract proposals, and much more.  In addition, I was relied upon by many of my co-workers to review their correspondence, emails, and other work before publication or submission.

​

Since retiring and moving to New Bern, North Carolina, I became a Notary Public for the State of North Carolina and enjoyed catching up on all the things I said I would get to when I retired.  I also became an avid reader.  The more reading I do, the more mistakes I find...and that drives me nuts!  I decided it was time to get back in the game.  I enjoy using my expertise to help people improve their writing and make the best possible impression while expressing their words, messages, and stories clearly, concisely, and free of errors.
