About / Resume

Thanks for visiting my blog! I'm a freelance writer and administrative professional based out of Rochester, NY. Professionally, I have experience in writing, reporting, copy-editing, event planning and marketing.

I love writing, reading, and cooking with my fiance. I'm a bride-to-be planning a September 2012 wedding and a long-distance auntie to two beautiful girls who live 400 miles away. I'm new to the blogging world and love to read blogs on all sorts of topics, especially blogs by other writers and readers to find suggestions for my next read.
