Niche writing, publishing and marketing
I am an experienced Arizona based freelance writer, journalist, author, SEO/SEM specialist, website developer and social marketing specialist. I enjoy working from the comfort of my home office, while raising my 4 children.
Currently, work for many online companies and private clients, fulfilling their need for quality content, social marketing and developing their business goals. Using my SEO and SEM knowledge, I optimize websites and content, increasing traffic, search engine ranking and profit potential.
I was also the co-founder of the Wakening Media, which I started with fellow freelance writer and author Angela Atkinson. Wakening Media consists of four sites and was very successful for many years. The little side project grew tremendously over the past few years and open many new doors.
Although I thrive in the freelance writing world, my true passion is journalism. Currently, I'm a contributor for CBS Local in Phoenix. Previously, I contributed to the local newspaper, the Kingman Daily Miner, as a citizen journalist, covering local and state-wide parenting issues and concerns. Periodically, I also write for the Flagstaff Examiner, contributing content regarding parenting teenagers and the Phoenix Women's Examiner, covering important aspects in the lives of women.
I not only enjoy the world of freelance writing, but the world of creative writing as well. I published my first book The Fundamentals of SEO for the Average Joe in 2010. My goal with the book is to give back to the community by assisting business owners with their journey to success.
I also have numerous other creative projects underway, expanding my experience as an author. I've contributed to Chicken Soup for the Soul: New Moms, The Practical Freelance Writer's Guide to Author Websites, Chicken Soup for the Soul: Inspiration for Writers and Marketing Yourself and Your Writing Online. I'll be releasing another book soon, Random Thoughts from a Tangled Mind.
