Summary
A writer since I could hold a pen in my hand, I have continued into making a living doing what I love. I have always devoured books as fast as I could collect them, and always written prolifically. My career path took me into the public garden world--as a gardener and as an administrator working on fundraising, educational programs, websites, newsletters, and more.
I now work in the "for profit" business word as a marketing coordinator managing affiliate programs, writing copy and preparing news releases.
While I enjoy researching a wide variety of subjects and creating dynamic, engaging writing, my areas of expertise are: horticulture, gardening, event planning, animals, real estate, books, reading, professional development, and business development.

I am a self-starter from the non-profit world, and have recently moved into the business world working for an internet based business as the marketing coordinator managing affiliate and network marketing programs, press release writing, auto-responder emails and more.
Elance has been a great forum for me to share my skills and talents with people from around the world. With clients in the United States, Canada, UK and Australia, I have learned much about different cultures, writing styles and needs. I have written blogs, newsletters, web copy and articles about diverse subjects including birds, yoga, internet marketing, natural horsemanship, hydroponics (the legal kind), real estate, flower gardening and more.
Several recent article ghostwriting projects have yielded front page Google search results without obscure or specific search terms or phrases.
The research component of Elance projects is equally fun as the writing component. I enjoy a challenge and would love to put my skills and talents to work for you!
