About Me

I'm a full-time freelance content marketing writer with over 21 years of senior marketing management and leadership experience. In 2007, I quit my successful marketing executive job for a global publisher and opened my own freelance writing business. I've worked in the following industries: e-commerce, retail garden center, insurance, financial services, publishing, and education testing and publishing. I've opened and run my own e-commerce company and have direct, hands-on experience managing, leading, and directing an organization. I hold a Master of Science in Direct & Interactive Marketing and an M.A. in Writing; I've also completed pre-MBA fundamentals. I love writing about anything to do with the business world: accounting, finance, management, operations, human resources. I excel at writing about the topic of marketing and infuse all my work with deep, rich knowledge and practical understanding.  I'm considered an expert in SEO and have taught SEO seminars at some major companies worldwide. When I'm not writing, you can find me working in my garden where I grow vegetables, herbs, and fruit, hiking and walking the Blue Ridge Mountains near my home, or taking care of my German shepherd dog and many rescued cats. I also love to cook and experiment with vegetarian and vegan dishes.
