Education

Careers as a coach, teacher, and pastor have prepared me to work with many different types of people and recognize the value in each of them. I was told that I had a gifting as a writer as far back as seventh grade; however, I believe the thirty-plus years between then and the start of my writing career were necessary to give me a unique perspective on life and a desire to write more for the benefit of others than for myself. I published two memoirs in 2014. I learned much about my own life and the enormous number of people who have shaped it. I learned much about the writing process and noted every step of the process in my second book so that I could help others tell their stories that.
