Long ago, six-year-old me crafted epic tales like how the dark, brooding crime fighter Batman reluctantly joined with the wild, pizza-loving ninja turtle Michelangelo to defeat the menacing Darth Vader. These tales were told with nothing more than a few action figures, milk cartons and a heavy dose of pure imagination.
 

Today, I bring those ideas into my content creation. Whether it’s in social media engagement, blogs, marketing campaigns or communication pieces, I give fun and professional writing to which people can relate. I love to write and brainstorm, because there is no limitation when creating something living from a blank page.
