Seems I've been writing all my life. I received my first rejection letter at the age of five for a creative story I submitted to "Highlights" magazine. But that early roadblock didn't stop my desire to write.

My communications career began in 1990 as a journalist, I told the stories of murder victims, cancer patients, and of people who lost their homes and businesses to natural disasters.

In the corporate world, I managed the simultaneous production of a dozen quarterly publications. I oversaw editorial meetings between executives and staff members across several time zones. I wrote brochures, direct mail pieces, press releases, ad copy, and newsletters -- most under harrowing deadlines.

As a consultant, I share my diverse experience with a wide range of clients:

Chevron
Tyco Healthcare/Covidien
Grapevine Communications
Gannett Healthcare
PacifiCare Health Systems
Kaiser Permanente
Hewlett-Packard Company
Pacifico Advertising and Public Relations
Strategies Advertising and Public Relations
Whittier College
Scripps College
City of Milpitas
