My Story
My love of books started with a mystery.
I grew up in Maine, where winters were long and cold. What was a girl to do but dive into book after book after book. The Nancy Drew series was a favorite. I loved the stories, the mystery and investigative nature, and the fact that Nancy Drew was doing something not normally done by girls. She was a great inspiration to me.
My passion for great stories grew as I explored the world of radio, public relations, and marketing, while mastering the art of editing and copywriting. I made it my mission to learn every aspect of the storytelling process.
My love of a great story, tenacity, marketing eye, years of experience, and commitment to helping others see their dreams come to fruition brings me to where I am today.
Additionally, when my nose isn't buried in a book, I might spend my free time exploring new places, trying out new recipes in the kitchen, playing golf, going sailing, or pursuing other hobbies and interests that fuel my passion for life and adventure."
