I love to work with words.  I believe a well-written piece can sway opinion, sell product, make a difference.  I am a professional writer and manager with a doctorate in History who brings more than ten years' expertise to the table.  I produce copy on a wide range of topics to meet my clients' needs and appeal to their target audiences.  

I have authored many documents, including articles, newsletters, website content, and handbooks.  I regularly create thoroughly researched and well-written documents, frequently in a very short time.  In addition, I have created slide shows and presentations to share with audiences in group settings.  I produced forms and letters for mailings, as well.  

I enjoy working with business owners, authors and other writers who want some assistance to polish their written work. My editorial skills help students and working professionals create clear, well-written documents, including correspondence, academic research papers, annual reports, personal statements, and letters of reference.

My background includes demonstrated skill in written and oral communication; demonstrated ability to complete large projects successfully and in a timely manner; demonstrated skill collecting research materials from public and private sources of all types; demonstrated ability to analyze data and document results.  

My education and work experience have helped me develop business management skills, as well.  I have strong interpersonal skills and I work well with others.  I have experience working effectively with multiple stakeholder groups.  I am practiced at coordinating activities among various service areas and departments.  I review and reallocate resources to work within a budget.  And I have demonstrated leadership skills.
