About me

My husband and two beautiful children are my daily inspiration for writing.

I completed a Bachelor's Degree in Psychology in May of 2009 and I am now working on a Master's of Science in Leadership.

Four things you will never catch me writing about on Helium are ironing clothes, training a dog, organizing kitchen cabinets, or getting any child under the age of seven to go to bed before midnight.

Thanks to Helium, I wrote my first short children's mystery. I also love to write children's stories, especially stories for my five-year-old. It helps her manage her five-year-old feelings. I enjoy writing in essay style, as well as research writing. It is my goal to work up to writing short fiction stories soon and then draft my first novel.

I sold my first two articles to a publisher in marketplace at the end of May 2008. This was very exciting and inspirational.

I am a Christian, and while I do not always write directly about my faith, I have found that most of my words are both influenced and filtered by the principles taught in the Bible.

In 1997, amid deregulation of the telecommunication markets, Gary Winnick founded Global Crossing. Much like Enron, the corporate governance of Global Crossing used creative accounting to inflate the books and engage in insider trading eventually contributing to the rapid rise and fall of stocks and the fourth largest bankruptcy in United States history. Another key similarity between the Enron case and the Global Crossing case was the employ of accounting firm Arthur Andersen as the external auditor. Although both the Enron case and the Global Crossing case began with deregulation, one ca...
