Introduction: My longtime experience as a reporter has made it easy to transition to freelance writing and editing. I have a proven ability to deliver high-quality work under pressure, and I write "tight," as they say in the journalism industry. Meaning, my copy is to-the-point and well constructed. I get a high from helping a client to complete a writing assignment; it's like taking the weight off a customer.

The owner of The Pen and Pad has worked with me over the years on various projects to polish proposals, design and edit presentation materials, as well as proofread event program booklets. Each time, the work was promptly delivered and exceeded my expectations. I greatly value her editorial expertise and creativity.

Cathy is awesome! She is patient, creative and intuitive to my daughter's learning style. She has gone above and beyond to help her realize her full potential. She is accommodating to our changing schedule and takes pride in her work. We really appreciate the difference she has made in our daughter's life.
