Introduction
At some point during the process of pursuing my vision of becoming a writer, a period which began in March 2016, I realized something: I just did not understand how the English language works. That realization became a pivotal moment that transformed my life because I began to carve out a new career.
Experience and learning education
One of the real-world issues that I faced was that I could not find an existing tool, process or method for writers like me to enable us to achieve a high degree of professionalism in our work independently. While there still exists a requirement to outsource our work at varying stages of development, or a possibility to even benefit from AI technology, these steps can feel highly transactional because they typically neither offer nor focus on an individual’s learning education.
The personal answer to this issue was to develop an information architecture (IA) for an educational and grammatical editing model to use to support educational processes and meet traditional publishing standards.
Expertise
Copy-editing skills
My focal disciplines and talent involve utilizing etymology, syntax, rhetoric, grammar and lexicography, discovering learning opportunities, and making innovative connections to create unique processes and methods that resolve editing issues.
Writing
Genre and publications
As a literary fiction writer, I write stories with speculative elements of the supernatural (fantasy) and the dystopian as a main plot element, theme, or setting.
First publication
What’s in a Name is about Christine, who has remained silent about the events that involve her mother renaming her and about the real meaning of the name itself. After she accepted that name, she went silent about its significance. As a married woman, she now finds herself in a battle to no longer remain silent.

Latest publication
Beginning with a foreword that draws attention to the Finnish word sisu, this publication, Precursory Tales, carries an important message about grief. It features two short stories that will be a part of a future collection called The Bendiness of Rivers. This work is precursory to that collection.
