: About Me

I am a 37-year-old, single mother to a beautiful school age boy and gorgeous baby girl who light up my life and motivate me to be the best parent possible. My education exists of a BA in Writing and English and an MS in Psychology. I currently work as a Children's Mental Health Caseworker for the McKean County Department of Human Services where I oversee and coordinate mental health intervention programs for children ages 4-18.  

I love to write and use my creative knowledge and feel I am very experienced in parenting (especially single parenting), mental health and psychological wellness, and relationship issues. Reading and sharing ideas is what makes me most happy, and I am always open to constructive criticism so I can better myself as a writer. I love to learn from others who can offer great ideas that I may not have considered before.

I'm starting to find my niche in life and feel like I'm just within reach of achieving most of my goals. The most important thing in the world to me is to show my son and daughter that they can be anything they choose to be if they only keep an open mind and a passionate heart. Dreaming is not a silly fantasy, it's a door that links you to your accomplishments.

I began Helium uncertain of the future, but the more I write, the more I am learning about this fabulous freelance world.  There is so much to do there that can enhance anyone's writing skills and helps us all be creative.  I love criticism that is helpful, so please feel free to offer your comments and assistance as you see fit.  My purpose is to be a better writer and to someday write children's books for my son and daughter to share with their children.

I'm so blessed to get to know you all and look forward to writing my heart out on Helium.
