Write Edit Etc

d grew to savor the challenge of an intricately designed image. My parents encouraged me to explore all my interests. I often travelled with my father in his big rig across the country. He inspired me to be a free thinker and consider new perspectives. Our lively conversations contained many detours down rabbit-holes that have since become my resources. While exploring career options, I discovered that accounting clicked for me. The simple design behind balancing both sides of the accounting equation led me to many years in public and corporate tax accounting and supporting small business owners. When I dove into forensic accounting, the creative side of my brain was revived. I dug into and made sense of details, learned to turn CPA- and legal-speak from expertise into everyday language, and honed an ability to communicate clearly and succinctly. Forensic accounting was my first foray into editing. The intense focus to ensure the intricate details tied together and the final summary told a story that answered all questions showed me I could pull patterns and pieces from an elevated level into a single, easy-to-understand picture expressed in words. I am a multi-published writer of blogs, articles, and more. As a developmental editor, I help subject matter experts and inspirational authors who are creating change take their constantly rewritten drafts, connect the dots with their origin story, and publish their work.
