Good writers consider their audience, purpose, and message to achieve results. I am a former English teacher, a retired public servant, and a proven communicator. I thoroughly enjoy using the written word to inform, persuade, and meet a client's needs.. My academic background includes bachelor's and master's degrees in English, as well as a bachelor's degree in natural resources and a master's in rangeland ecosystem science. Throughout my entire professional career, I have written for diverse purposes and audiences. In addition, I am an experienced editor for others, helping develop their unique messages and communicate them clearly, concisely, and effectively.
