- Bio
- I am a professional writer and editor with an avid interest in children's literacy. My first book, Absolute Alphabet, makes a difference to children and their families because proceeds from sales support an organization called Adam's Dream Fund.
I have had an enriching career. My story begins with editorial positions throughout Ontario in business trade magazines and some fashion and freelance in between. After shifting my focus to corporate communications and editorial consulting, I decided to plunge forward back to university for an MBA. After the MBA, in 2005, I consolidated my skills as writer, editor, consultant, and entreprenuer by creating an online toy store called Toy Box Treasures.
At the time, there was a huge gap in the market for non-branded, non-commercialized educational toys with longevity that truly teach. Four years in business and counting, now I'm diversifying my offerings and going, once again, back to my true love -- writing and publication development. Without positive exposure to books, words, stories and interaction, children will not become literate. Toys that teach have many benefits when coupled with proper interaction and skill-building techniques. But we must always be aware that one of the first steps to learning is creating an environment rich in language. Through my books, it is my goal to aid educators and caregivers to create such an environment.
