My Special Accomplishments

I was born and raise in beautiful Colorado.

Here is a photo I really love of Pikes Peak behind "Garden of the Gods" in Colorado Springs, CO.

I now live and work remotely in sunny St. Petersburg, FL.

I wrote this and designed the image from an original photo because it explains, "Why I sleep well at night."

My Timeline (click to view):

After growing up in Colorado and having two children:

 - I ended up living in Oklahoma for about ten years with my children, until they each found a spouse and moved to another state.

 - I then moved to Florida in 2019 to live with my sister. She had lost her husband, who passed away a year before that.

 - COVID came along, so I had already lost the first job I got here, but a few months later, I went back to waiting tables, which I always loved, because I love waiting on people.

 - I ended up deciding I wanted to do so much more—work from home and use my skills to do something more rewarding by helping whomever I could with those skills. I learned about a proofreading course I could take that intrigued me because I always thought I could be an editor.

 - Certain things in my life happened, so I had not become an editor until I took the proofreading course, passed it with flying colors, received a certificate, and then had a GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY to prove I could do so much more, which was:

Line Editing, Copy Editing (Copyediting) and Copy Formatting for an author getting ready to self-publish his first novel, in addition to Graphic Design, Web Design, Website Creation, Copywriting, and Content Writing ("Graphic Designs" page), which I have done all myself to advertise my businesses.

I also design and write Wedding and Special Occasion Invitations, as well as E-cards (Ecards).

What am I doing now?

I am now a professional Document and Book Editor, Resume Writer and Reviser, Graphic Designer, Web Designer, Copywriter, and Website Content Writer, helping all sorts of people with their lives and businesses, while also being affordable, which is very important to me, because I want to help people. I work extremely hard all the time, but I am loving what I do!

Like I said on my home page, you probably know the saying, “Jack of all trades, master of none,” but no matter which service I am called to do, my clients praise me for my excellent work, professionalism, and caring attitude, among other things that they very much appreciate. Of course, anyone can claim all this, but all I know is that I hear it all the time, and it makes me love my job all the more.

The proof is in my client reviews and feedback, which is posted here.

What is most important to me?

I love my GOD, my FAMILY, and my UNITED STATES of AMERICA with all of my heart, and I am proud to say it!!!

I am extremely patriotic, and I am thankful to all who are and have been in service to defend our freedom.

This U.S. flag represents my patriotism and love for the U.S. Military.
