write to your own beat.
It's said knowledge is power. I say knowledge is options. As a voracious learner, I have experienced the options afforded me for having a wider-than-average skill set. Knowledge is options, and with me, options are exactly what you get.
I was 9 when I asked for a word processor, so I could start writing novels. Growing up in a rural community meant limited resources, so I taught myself primarily, reading about writing, analyzing writers – emulating some before finding my own voice amongst many words.
Hearing communication skills were among the most-desired skills, I majored in Communications and Professional Writing, then went on to get my MBA, rounding out my formal education with a diverse set of writing and business skills that have provide options.
In my career I've written everything from technical software manuals, to podcast skits, and each position I've held in my career has always had an element of writing. Although I was COO at KMG, I frequently wrote marketing copy, business plans, and strategy, along with proposals and contracts. I've written software manuals, operational procedures, employee manuals, and documents you'd swear came from a lawyer. I've also published one novel, have a second in pre-publishing, and currently working on a third. 17 of my 30 years of writing has included songwriting, where I've learned recording, music mixing/master, while sharpening my writing skills across the 150+ songs in my IP catalog.
Because of audio production, I learned to build PCs 15 years ago. Most recently, I built a production computer for my own studio, spending just under $600 for a computer that would retail for nearly $3,000. I also have in-depth knowledge of a wide-range of software from QuickBooks to Studio One and almost everything in between.
My blend of creative and business experience provides a unique perspective and an out-of-the-box process to help you stand out from the noise. How can I help you stand out?
Work Terms
Hours of operation are built around the needs of clients. My schedule is flexible, and I can generally accommodate reasonable fluctuations. Payment terms: 20% down due five working days before start of project. Balance is due upon acceptance of final output. Should a project consist of material purchasing (i.e. PC construction) total down will consist of those material costs and may be higher than 20%.
