About Me
My love for writing began in elementary school when I wrote my first story entitled, "The Lonely Tree." Then it was love-sick poetry in junior high, and long letters to boyfriends in high school. I got serious about my writing after I took a journalism class and became my high school paper's news editor. While obtaining my bachelor degree in Exercise and Sport Science at Oregon State University, I worked as a news reporter and weekly fitness columnist for "The Daily Barometer."
Prior to having children, I flourished in my job as a fitness facility manager, exercise program coordinator and personal trainer. I have maintained my group fitness certification for 12 years, and I still instruct a wide variety of classes. My favorite group exercise classes to instruct are indoor cycling, step, group weight lifting, and yolates (or Pi-Yo: a blend of pilates and yoga).
I currently freelance from home, writing a monthly fitness article for eDuck Sports, occasionally contracting through Elance, and maintaining a fitness blog for parents http://www.fit2bmama.blogspot.com. Factoidz is my newest venture, and I am enjoying it!
I understand the harmony and flow of human language, and I believe that the flawless and passionate presentation of words, like faith, can move mountains.
