About Me and My Work

Every single time that I sit down to write an "about me" bio for my work, I find myself writing something different from the last time that I did it. That's because what it means to be a writer is to continually ask yourself what your work has been about in the past and what it means about the work that you are doing today. Having worked in the fields of writing and editing for approximately ten years, I have had ample experience to frequently change the definition of what my work has been and where it is going.

My past experience has led to the development of a writing and blogging portfolio filled with a diverse selection of work. I have been a music reviewer, a feature writer for several different print magazines, a tech gadget reviewer, a horoscope column writer, a website copywriter, an artist statement author, the author of two books about ghosts in the Bay Area and a contributing author to travel, history and green living books. As someone who pays the bills by writing, I have done it all.

However, I also believe in the importance of finding your niche. I believe in doing what you love and what you are good at. Over the past 5 years, I've discovered a niche in blogging for others' businesses. I love all that this entails from the research stages through the promotion of posts. I like helping other businesses to gain customers. I like the format and style of blog posts and the possibilities there are for sharing blogs with an entire globe of readers. I like the combination of writing work and business development that this allows me to do. So, this is where I've found my niche. It's also what this site is primarily about although you can learn more about my other web writing and publications by following the links on the top of my home page.

Some of the things that I pride myself on as a blogger include my commitment to continually learning this industry and improving upon it, my ability to work well with clients of all different types of backgrounds, my consistent strength in meeting deadlines and keeping in communication with my clients and my belief that it's my job to do the best work that I can in order for your business to be its best.

So, that's me as a writer / blogger. What about me as a person? I'm originally from Arizona but moved to San Francisco several years ago because this is the city where I feel most at home. I'm in love with the city and enjoy taking advantage of all that it has to offer from attending unusual performance art events to checking out popular museum exhibitions to wandering around and people watching. Some of the hobbies I regularly enjoy are reading, hiking, pilates/yoga, travel and photography. I tend to be laidback, easy to get along with and curious about life. Mostly I believe in the importance of always trying to get to know myself better and to push the boundaries of who I can be as an individual as well as in my work.
