As a writer, I draw on my background in environmental studies, natural history, botany, and herbal medicine, combined with a lifelong passion for education. I'm a former science teacher and homeschooling mom of ten years. I've taught in outdoor schools and love exploring nature, especially plants and herbs, with students of all ages.
In recent years, I've devoted most of my professional energy to writing, as owner of EditPro-Services, a versatile source for all kinds of Internet writing. I've published articles in a wide variety of media on topics including education, natural medicine, pre- and post-natal fitness, and dentistry. As the offspring of a newspaper editor and past president of the American Society of Newspaper Editors, I treasure the value of a well-constructed sentence!
