If I could get my hands on a book, I'd have my nose stuck in it until the last page. It was a never-ending adventure in my mind. As luck would have it, my love for reading only grew with time. During that time I have experienced different genres of stories and time periods. I found out what I crave from a story to grab hold of me and not let go. I've worked in different fields, all seem to have the same thing in common, communication. For well over a decade I've honed my skills in verbal and written communication, supporting clients and customers around the world and in a number capacities. I have an eye for detail when it comes to writing, and I use that skill daily. When I'm not working or reading, I enjoy planting things in my garden. Pay close attention that I didn't say growing things, HA, because sometimes it doesn't work out. Then I plant something else. Or you can find me in the kitchen baking sourdough bread, really anything that goes in the oven. No, I don't cook, I leave that to the professionals.
