Biography

I began copy work soon after receiving my English degree from Appalachian State University (Fall 2001). My first gig was passively editing the very first Team Eurosport (www.soccer.com) catalog. I continued to edit the next 5 issues before I was pulled into Outbound Sales. After I earned my Applied Economics degree from UNCG I did a lot of writing for our Sales Director - varying from vendor correspondence to proofing new product silo copy. Finally, I received my master's degree in Psychology from the University of Arizona - Global Campus. I work as a mental health professional, but I also write for www.choosefi.com.
