I’ve always been fascinated by words, the nuances of meaning, and the written expression of ideas. Even as a child, I wrote poetry and fiction, which I still do today. I learned to write in the academic style while doing my B.A. in Psychology and Linguistics at UBC and SFU. Then, entering the corporate world, I learned about business and technical writing and earned my Technical Writing Certificate from the Writing and Publishing program at SFU. After a long, successful career with a major national company, I took some time off to indulge my love of travel. In January, 2008, I launched my own technical and business writing company, Mountain Scribe Writing Services.

When I’m not working, writing, reading, or taking writing classes, I can usually be found outside in nature. I enjoy all sorts of outdoor activity and incorporate that enjoyment when I travel to interesting spots around the world, as well as when I volunteer in the community. Most recently, I’ve volunteered with the STC (Society for Technical Communication) and have also been helping organize and officiate at the Nordic skiing events leading up to the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Games.
