About MeI'm a full-service editor and designer for education projects. It has been a pleasure to work with 7 California authors to self-publish their books: a few educators, a poet, novels, a children's book, and an autobiography. I've also held communication positions at the Placer County Office of Education and the California Community Colleges Chancellor's Office. I have received 3 national awards: 2012 NSPRA for Bridging the Achievement Gap, 2011 Clarion for the Chancellor's Office Style Guide, and 2009 NSPRA for Peace, Joy, Hope. Words, art and communication bring us together and I love being a part of that process. I'm also a professional calligrapher and teach at the Crocker Art Museum and in Northern California. |
