Let's face it...
when communication channels continually evolve, relaying your message is challenging. Let me help you improve communications. My proficient writing/editing skills and ability to see through the clutter can help you develop, revise and maintain your communication strategies, plans and content. |
Inspiration comes in many forms... Authors such as Lawrence Hill, Khaled Hosseini, Margaret Atwood, Esi Edugyan and so many more inspired me to pursue writing. I decided to leave behind my healthcare/ post-secondary education career and follow something I have always loved to do...write. Little did I what it would lead to ! |
