I am a freelance writer who has lived in the beautiful state of Virginia since the age of 2. Growing up, I lived in a small town in the picturesque Shenandoah Valley, surrounded by mountains, music, outdoor activities, kind people, and generations of cherished family members. Now living in the Piedmont Region of Northern Virginia, I am a busy mom, grandma, and small business owner, spending my weekends on the side of whichever field, court, or stage that my grandchildren are playing on. As a voracious reader, I have a passion for words and the powerful way they can be used to tell a compelling story. And I am thrilled to be able to take my love of words and language and mold them into influential thoughts and ideas, creating vivid imaginations in the reader’s mind.
