: About Me

I am a freelance everything. I am a semi-pro photographer and graphic artist currently working for a photography studio. I love to write as well and have had one article in a national magazine and a few small contributions locally-"locally" being the NY-NJ area.
I am the mom of teenage twins, a boy and a girl(Help!) who give me a great deal of fodder for my essays.
One of the most enjoyable things I do is ride with friends from the Patriot Guard. I do not own a motorcycle myself; i prefer being 'chauffeured' because it allows me the freedom to photograph from the back of the bike. It is also a terrific way to hone my writing skills as I write about the many rides I've taken.
