I love to write and as a former teacher, I have enjoyed teaching many students to share my passion. My writing is about adapting my style to use genres suited to the task and the client as well as writing in a manner suited to the intended audience. I am an Australian, yet I have lived, been educated and taught overseas as well as in my homeland. I am in the process of writing a book of short stories that has a distinctly Australian flavour. The saying 'only in America' can be applied to other locations as well and it's this uniqueness of purpose and portrayal that makes writing such an enjoyable experience.

I have loved writing, and English in general, since I could speak. I began writing books at the age of six, directing my mother to type my ideas. Since then, I have studied Journalism and Creative Writing; I have published articles for my school newspaper and blogs; I have never stopped writing. I create newsletters, ads, directories, annual reports and more at my job as an Administrative Assistant. While I am new to the freelancing world, I have a wide range of skills and immense motivation in the form of my two young sons. I hope to use my passion for writing, editing, and proofreading to assist others not only achieve, but exceed, their goals.

I am a Professional Writer/Editor with an Applied Degree in Communications and a diploma in Professional Writing from Grant MacEwan University. My training covers everything from business writing to ad copy and speeches to creative work. I am a trained writer/editor/proofreader/fact checker. My training also includes corporate narrative, public relations writing, article/magazine writing and company branding, though my most fulfilling role came as Managing Editor of a literary journal. While my specialty is creative work, I spent 2.5 years writing for the Alberta Government, and I have a background as a legal assistant. I have also spent time writing resumes and cover letters, as well as tutoring. Why am I different from the rest? Because I have never missed a deadline and I demand perfection.
