I am a writer, educator, and public speaker. I am passionate about the written word, my country, self-reliance, compost, organic gardening, telling stories and family.

My professional experience spans many years and much of the globe. From 1997 until 2007 I worked as a teacher of languages, both English and Portuguese. I taught English in Japan, Brazil, Taiwan and in several schools in the United States.

However, since 2004, I have also worked as a professional freelance journalist, technical/marketing writer, and editor. Previous and current clients include Disney, Clearlink, Reading Horizons, Sydney Financial, ChartedCourse, Brigham Young University and many more.

My writing accomplishments to date:

*Invited to join the National Press Corps

*Placed as a finalist in the Pulitzer Center contest for Citizen Journalism

*Won and placed as a finalist in various worldwide creative writing contests

*Published articles in LDS Living and Maximum Yield magazines

*Contributed to several ESL/EFL websites around the world.

*Established and currently maintain a client base for my article writing, SEO, editing, proofreading and web copy writing services.

*Staff writer for a local financial guidance company. Responsibilities include: web copy, ad copy, radio ad scripts, manual writing and revision, brochure creation and proofreading.

On a personal note, I have had an enjoyable and exciting life. I was born and raised in a small, nomadic cult, leaving it when I was seventeen years old. I graduated from high school and within two years was working on a charitable mission in Brazil.

I consult, freelance, comment on politics and pop culture and read for learning and pleasure. If you like something I wrote, have comments or questions, want to give me a book contract, or need to utilize some of my skills, feel free to contact me.
