I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Journalism from University of Oregon. During my 14-year career as a newspaper reporter, photojournalist and copy editor, I won several awards from my peers. Publications included: The Dalles Chronicle in The Dalles, Oregon; Patuxent Publishing Company in Baltimore County, Maryland; and The Daily Journal of Commerce in Portland, Oregon. I attend St. Matthew’s Episcopal Church, a biblically based Anglican congregation in Northeast Portland. I am single and available for personal appearances and book signings in churches, book stores, conferences, and fairs. I have an education background in marketing and public information.
