I'm captivated by the simple beauty of an idea gracefully expressed through the written word. I'm passionate in my pursuit of effective communication through the thoughtful construction of phrases.    

​

I write for the thrill of putting pen to paper and, in a digital world, keystrokes to the screen.

 

I write to share thoughts and ideas...both mine and yours. 

​

I studied English and Communications through high school and college.  Lucky kid, I landed my first writing job while just a junior in high school, crafting ad copy for a chain of

high-end jewelry stores in Phoenix.  For the next 12 years, I developed marketing materials, wrote press releases and advertorials, penned copy for product packaging, composed scripts for sales personnel and television commercials.

​

For the last 20 years, I've had the profound pleasure of working alongside my wickedly talented, commercial photographer/videographer husband, Ken Howie.  Together we've produced television and print ads, video marketing presentations, catalogs and brochures for discerning advertising clients nationwide.  Presently, I'm writing the script for Ken's latest documentary film.

​

Now a resident of North Dakota, having followed my fabulous husband back to his childhood home, I write and edit marketing copy and media content for a new group of clients.  I enjoy volunteering for a handful of non-profit organizations and churches, writing articles, editing publications, and copywriting marketing and promotional material.
