Greetings!
Teaching English and journalism for 25 years means I know how to organise writing projects of all sizes. I will help you define the themes of your project and creatively communicate them to your audience. I’m a stickler for grammar too - so you don’t have to be!
My Story
Believe it not, I loved reading and writing essays in university! So, I became a high school English teacher and I loved discussing the ideas in great literature and teaching my students how to write. Over 25 years, I taught thousands of students to write with clarity and style. I was also a yearbook advisor for 11 years; yearbook journalism involves capturing all the fun events of the year (in pictures and write-ups) and marketing the school in a permanent record.
I retired from the classroom and began copywriting because it is a way that I can help people who don’t enjoy writing to confidently convey their message. After getting to know your goals, I will write clearly and persuasively for your business so that your marketing captures the interest of your audience and compels them to take action.
​
What's your favourite book?
I can't choose one! I like the classics by Jane Austen and the Brontes but also more modern dystopian stories like The Hunger Games and Fahrenheit 451.
​
How do you spend your spare time?
In my spare time you can find me working in the garden, chatting with my chickens, and knitting for my grandchildren.
​
What's one item still on your bucket list? ​
I’d like to learn to speak Finnish, travel to Finland, and meet some distant relatives.

one can't exist without the other.”
