Bio

I attended college in the beautiful valley of Geneseo, NY, earning a Bachelor’s degree in psychology with a minor in music. Following graduation I worked as a mental health counselor and manager of a residential rehabilitation program in Rochester, NY. I moved from that into a career in sales and training, and for six years I adventured as an award-winning pharmaceutical sales representative and regional sales trainer.

I left the industry to launch my freelance business with a dual-focus on writing and delivering sales training programs, and I enjoy doing both for clients in a variety of industries. A few years ago I expanded my services to include instructional design, and now work with clients in every stage of training, from needs assessment through design, development, implementation, and evaluation.

In 2014 I received a Master of Science degree in Instructional Design and Technology with a specialization in Online Learning, and a post-baccalaureate certificate in Instructional Design.

I appreciate you taking the time to learn about me and my freelance writing services, and I look forward to helping you achieve more with words.
