Writing
In addition to being a brand strategist, I balance business savvy with a creative fire that just refuses to burn out. I moonlight as a writer for lifestyle sites/magazines as well as business sources like Entrepreneur.com, Amex OPEN Forum, Sharp Skirts, Microsoft Small Business Blog UK, Seattle Business and many more. Oh, to keep my creative storytelling mojo working, I’m also an actress.
Dig in and devour the words!
