My writing career began when I was five. I learned to write my name, and I was so excited about it that I wrote my name on walls, furniture, and virtually any surface that would take a pencil mark. Throughout my elementary school years, I practiced my handwriting and diagrammed sentences FOR FUN. Seriously.

From my teens into my thirties, I kept a journal, partly because I was trying to make sense of myself and this world, and partly because I love, love, love to write. I also created weekly publications professionally and taught myself basic video editing.

Eventually, my kids got older, and I decided to go back to school to get the official stamp of approval on what I had already been doing for years.

Since then, I have been writing creative and technical content for stone and tile restoration contractors, installers, inspectors, and others in the tile and stone industry.

Think about it. When properly installed floors and surfaces look clean, fresh, and welcoming, it makes a big difference in how people feel.  

I have a lot of respect for the contractors I serve, and I’m grateful that I have the opportunity to leverage my skills to make a difference for people in the tile and stone industry.
