Experience and Credentials |
With my husband in Sedona, Arizona
I work with amazing clients like you who are doing the kind of work that changes lives!
I'm a writer, editor, and content marketing professional based in Northern New Jersey. While my work spans a variety of topics, the majority of my projects are related to well-being of mind, body, and spirit, education, and the development and self-publishing of creative nonfiction.
My primary niche is wellness. I write and help others write about nutrition, yoga, fitness, integrative medicine, holistic health, psychology, meditation, and spirituality. I am also an editor, specializing in copy editing, line editing, technical editing, and in some cases, developmental editing. For more than a decade, I've worked as a technical editor as well as with authors of wellness-related nonfiction, memoir, and creative nonfiction. A former teacher and current pet owner, I also edit curriculum and academic material and write about pet care topics.

My Journey
For a writer, a diverse background and a variety of experiences make a world of difference. While single-minded dedication to a certain professional path may be valued in certain arenas, flexibility and interest in many things gives a writer an undeniable edge.
I began my professional career as a research editor for a business publication. I excelled at my work (and have continued to freelance for that company through the years), but I was interested in many other things as well. So, naturally, I became a teacher! I went on to study psychology, and eventually found myself working in a higher education setting. Later, I taught elementary enrichment classes in the public school system. In 1995, I returned to school to study foods and nutrition, and I now hold credentials from the American Dietetic Association. As a nutritionist for an upscale health club, I helped people reach their weight loss goals with a healthy diet. I also began freelancing, creating newsletters and brochures for community organizations. The driving force behind all of my professional pursuits has been a strong interest in spirituality that encompasses a range of philosophical and spiritual thought. I've studied Eastern and Western ideas in depth and have come to appreciate what is common and inspiring about all religions while maintaining a dedication to my Christian roots. I practice yoga, meditation, and prayer, and I am an avid reader of anything about personal and spiritual growth. Through all of this, writing has remained my first love. In 2004, after selling the first piece of writing (a children's story) I had ever marketed, I began my full-time career as a freelance writer and editor. My most recent writing project is my book, Yoga Circles. I value each opportunity to help wellness professionals connect with clients, students, readers, and followers.
