I have always loved nature and wildlife
and I particularly enjoy having the opportunity to encourage
others to get outside, take a closer look at the wonders
around them and then learn how to Take Care of Their
Share of the planet.
My motto: "I don't just hug trees.
I fondle flowers, caress critters and play in the dirt!"
Syndicated Green Content
If you need "green", eco-friendly,
human interest or gardening content for your website,
I can provide articles or blog posts for a very affordable
cost.
Social Media
Where is the first place that you look when you want
to learn something new or locate a good reliable business?
For most people, the answer is "the internet".
If you have a business or a message to share, you need
to have an internet presence. Whether you need a fully
functioning website, a blog or a Facebook presence,
I can help you with your social media needs. And I can
provide these services for much less than you can get
them elsewhere.
Costs and Services
I write for many reasons: to inspire, to encourage,
to enlighten, to influence and to earn income. The amount
that I charge for my services often depends on how well
an assignment will allow me to achieve a combination
of those things.
Although I have the experience and skills
to cover almost any topic, I prefer to accept assignments
that will allow me to make a positive difference in
the world.
Background
Prior to dedicating my time to freelance writing and
photography, my work background included ten years working
at a public library, which provided me invaluable research
skills; and ten+ years in the computer support department
of a large local electronics firm, which helped improve
both my people and problem solving skills.
I have also attended the Master Gardener training and
I am a trained National Wildlife Federation Habitat
Steward.
Please contact me to discuss how I can help your publication
or organization in promoting the appreciation of nature.
For your immediate needs, I have photographs and articles
on many topics. Or I will be happy to create something
for your specific needs.
