I’m a trained journalist with more than 20 years of writing and editing experience. I’ve written about everything from radiation therapy technology to hip hop music. I’ve also edited a wide array of documents from electronic component reports to urban, erotic novels. My career began just after college when I worked as an intern at Video Toaster User magazine (A video what? Yeah, I know, right? Trust me. It’s very well-known in video production and 3D animation circles). In less than two years I worked my way up from intern to managing editor. At the time, the dot-com boom was in full swing. Eager to be a part of it, I earned a technical writing certificate and joined the technological revolution taking place. I wrote technical user manuals and marketing collateral for several startup companies, where I discovered a love for the entrepreneurial world. A few years later, the dot-com bubble popped and I decided to play it somewhat safe. With my editing pen in hand, I worked comfortably for many years as a technical editor at a market research firm. Alas, listening to that entrepreneurial whisper, I launched Jazzy Pen Communications as a part-time freelance editing venture. Following a layoff (a blessing in disguise), I transitioned Jazzy Pen to a full-time business and now as an independent freelance writer and editor I enjoy writing marketing content for small and medium-sized businesses and editing business documents and full-length books for self-publishers. I have a bachelor’s degree in journalism from San Jose State University, a strong desire to help others and unbridled creative energy. I have served on the Board of Directors for the National Association of Women Business Owners, Inland Empire (NAWBO-IE) for multiple years and as the chapter administrator. I won the 2015 NAWBO-IE A.N.I.T.A Award, which is presented to the Member of the Year. When I’m not writing, editing or assisting clients with content marketing, you can find me wrapped up with a good book, shopping for shoes or spending quality time with my husband and two adorable children.
