Words are my passion: I've founded an award-winning magazine, taught creative writing and composition courses, edited everything from literary journals to PhD dissertations, and am a recovering social media guru with over a decade's experience in communications and marketing. In every role, I bring a talent for big-picture thinking, detail-oriented execution, and creative collaboration that leads to success and innovation.
