I’ve always loved writing and thought it was my dream job.
However, my school counselor suggested pursuing a more lucrative tech career, saying “you’re pretty good at math for a girl” (yes, they did). Degrees in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science led me to high tech, including roles in R&D, Quality, and IT.
Fast-forward to the mid-90s: I was in IT management when websites arrived on the scene. With sparse course offerings available, it was on-the-job training. Fully consumed with work and two youngsters, I programmed personal site projects late into the night.
As the lone female web designer surrounded by male “Webmasters,” I laughingly called myself The Web Diva®. It stuck.
After 20 years in high-tech, freelance web work was my next opportunity. I was quickly frustrated when clients were unable to deliver their essential website content — especially About pages. That led to:
- Developing content for hundreds of my web design clients.
- Branching out to serve folks hiring other (non-writing) web pros.
- Publishing a book to help business owners find, hire, and partner with the right web designer for them.
- Wallowing in yarn, fabric, sequins + glitter.
- Singing along to Broadway soundtracks.
- Listening for the timer signaling cookies ready to exit the oven.
I’m on LinkedIn every day, feel free to connect there!
