I am a writer,
speaker, and public relations professional. As a publicist,
I've helped many individuals and organizations create, polish, and
promote their images to a wide range of media with placements in
national and local radio, TV, and print publications. I’ve
taught writing and lectured extensively through various programs
sponsored by many different organizations. I've also been on radio
and TV, including the Today Show, CBS This Morning,
and Fox News. Plus, I am the PR blogger for
Allbusiness.com.
Also, I’m the
author of three nonfiction books, including Will This Place Ever
Feel Like Home? Simple Advice for Settling In After You Move (McGraw-Hill),
Ice Cream for Breakfast: If You Follow All the Rules, You Miss
Half the Fun (McGraw-Hill), and Wish It, Dream It, Do It:
Turn the Life You’re Living into the Life You Want (Simon
& Schuster). Plus, I’m a member of the American Society
of Journalists and Authors.
I’m currently at
work on a novel (revise, revise, revise) and will keep you posted on
my progress.
I earned a B.A. in
English/Humanities from Ohio Wesleyan University, an M.S. in
technical writing from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and an
M.B.A. in marketing from Marymount University of Virginia. I
also spent time as a substitute teacher, but basically my school
days are over. Of course whenever I’m asked to speak to a
group of students I am always delighted though walking through the
halls of any high school still makes me nervous.
