Communications and Marketing Consulting: I’ve been a writer since I first learned how to put words into sentences in 1st grade. Since 1998, I've created and edited a full spectrum of written communications for businesses from startups to Fortune 500 companies, hospitals and health care organizations, and non-profits. My specialty is making the complicated simple.

Family: Mother of four, three living. Our oldest was born with life-threatening and very complex congenital heart defects, suffered a brain injury, and struggled with cerebral palsy, recurring illnesses, and seizures before she died in 2008.
