I know you’re busy
So let me help you tell your story

  • You are a business owner, an entrepreneur with a vision.
  • You run a large department for the company you work for and are proud of your team.
  • You pour your heart and soul into making your non-profit fulfill its mission.
  • You are an editor constantly on the look-out for just the right article—preferably with photos that say a thousand words.

You’re busy.
You’re a master juggler with at least a dozen balls in the air.

With over 30 years of experience in writing, editing, and photography, at one time or another I have been in each of the roles that I described above. And I know that when you are in charge, you have to know from soup to nuts about your entire enterprise. If a key employee walks out the door, you have to know enough about that employee’s position to either step in yourself or find a replacement pronto.

But I also know that finding the right people to help you juggle those balls is golden. It’s like money in the bank.

I am one of those people. Let me help you give your vision a voice.

“Mary is highly intelligent but she’s also quick to research pertinent subject matter that she needs to know for the work that she’s doing. In addition, she is a go-getter with a strong work ethic.  In other words, she is very dependable and reliable and can be counted on to follow through on all of the commitments she makes.
