How do we respond to events in our community? How do we navigate times of transition or struggle? These are themes that all readers connect with and the focus of articles that I have authored. I am a freelance writer, educator, and blogger with published works in the Lavender Lens and San Diego Reader. While writing for the Lavender Lens, I authored the Miracle Makeover column. In order to keep the content relevant to the Lavender Lens audience, I expanded the makeover concept from fashion and beauty to inner changes and personal growth. Readers responded strongly, telling me they identified with the articles and it was like reaching into their hearts and telling their own story. I am highly organized, professional, and meet quality and deadline requirements consistently.
