I am a freelance writer specializing in travel writing, ecotourism and Fair Trade. I write/edit newsletters, email campaigns, website content, press releases, etc. for businesses. I also do desktop publishing: flyers, postcards and PowerPoint presentations.

I consult small business owners on producing eye-catching marketing materials and creating interesting newsletters and email campaigns that people look forward to reading!

I write a series of local excursions called "Rambliin' On" that encourage people to be aware of traveling responsibly, aka "eco-travel" whether around the Bay Area, California or worldwide.

My blog, the ConnectionJunction, is where I advocate for Fair Trade, responsible travel and present articles and interviews with women over 50 who have "Success from the Heart".

I would like writing assignments and desktop publishing projects with businesses and non-profit organizations that work to make a positive difference in the world...and have a sense of humor, enjoy their work and insist on having fun!
