I am a 23-year veteran of the United States Army. All 23 of those years were spent working in every facet of public relations, including print and broadcast journalism, speech preparation, photography, and media relations. I have a Bachelor of Arts in Communication Studies, a Master of Arts in Human Relations, and a Doctorate in Organizational Leadership. I have also done PR work for national organizations like Zeta Phi Beta Sorority, Inc., the Divine Literary Tour, and the U.S. Army. In addition, I have authored five contemporary fiction novels and contributed to seven anthologies.
