Learning from life and school...
I
have a degree in journalism/public relations from The University of
Texas (Hook 'em, Horns!!)––and the framed diploma to prove
it. Ah, UT: Beautiful buildings, beautiful people, beautiful cars.
But, with 50,000 students, it's an easy place in which to lose your
soul. My fondest memories? The stench of pigeon poop (especially after
a rain), a firm bum courtesy of the long haul between classrooms,
amateur belly dancing exhibitions in the student union...and the time
I wore a "Jesus Saves" T-Shirt to class and droves of students
parted before me like the Red Sea. <grin>
I've learned
alot from books,
conversations, and movies/TV: John Cusak remains my hunk of choice;
Xena, my favorite kick-butt female. I love observing people and interacting
with them. The mailman is a hoot, the building maintenance guy often
offers a fresh perspective, and my best buds always remind
me how much fun it is to be surrounded by kooky individuals. Chatting
one-on-one with creative and positive people gets me high. I've
been told that I connect easily with people. Perhaps; I am grateful
at how much information they're willing to share. But in return,
I play fair.
I'm still learning,
every day, how to be a better human being. I know the pain of losing
a pregnancy, the frustration of trying to housebreak a pup, the sweetness
of being forgiven, and the pleasure of being recognized by my peers.
On-the-job
training...
Before hanging my shingle as a freelancer 10 years ago, I
provided public relations, marketing, and conference management support
to full-time employers in exchange for a steady paycheck and gossip
around the water cooler. Now I work from home...or Starbucks...or
the park...penning magazine features and books. I also enjoy proofreading
a budding author's novel or a college student's thesis. And for businesses
and non-profits clients, I'm happy to write, proofread, and copyedit
newsletters, book drafts, brochures, training manuals, ad copy, press
packets, and trade show/conference collateral, as well as provide online marketing and social media training.
