I am a native English speaker and writer, located in the United States.  I have extensive writing experience, including writing short articles (300-700 words), web site content, blog articles and ebooks.  I also have experience providing ghost writing services and writing academic papers and business reports.  I am comfortable writing on a wide range of topics, from travel destinations to food reviews to describing health issues to fiction.  In addition to providing services on oDesk, I have worked as a freelance writer on two other freelance writer sites for the past two years.

I am familiar with and comfortable with SEO writing, including utilizing natural insertion of keywords and keyword density writing.  My natural writing style is conversational, but informative and educational.  I am able to adjust my writing to meet client requirements without problem.

In addition to writing services, I have extensive experience as a researcher, including web research utilizing standard web search engines like google, yahoo, ask and lycos.  Additionally, I am comfortable with industry specific search engines.  In addition to web research, I am highly familiar with conducting library, journal and literary research and have access to university research sources.

With extensive practical, administrative and academic experience in the fields of mental health and social services,  I have written a vast array of articles, reports, evaluations, needs assessment reports, curriculum, grant applications, and monthly/quarterly grant reports.  I also write and maintain my own blog site which is focused on women's psychology, spirituality and sexuality. I have excellent editing and proofreading skills.  I have creative writing experience with social blogging and adult web sites. 


I have owned and maintained three websites over the past several years.  I have previously owned and maintained an e-commerce site and a mental health information site. 

Additionally, I have over 20 years of experience providing administrative services to a wide range of clientele, such as attorneys, architects, venture capitalists, consultation firms, private schools, film companies, graduate students, small business owners and many others.  I have provided data entry, transcription services, event planning and coordinating, human resources interviewing, focus group facilitation and self-published book typesetting services.  I have worked extensively with writers by providing them with research assistance and transcription services for notes and interviews.  I have managed and supervised up to 22 employees at a time.

I have 15+ years of experience as a psychotherapist/life coach/counselor and am extremely familiar with both the challenges and joys that come from working in social services and in the helping professions.  I have both a BA in Behavioral Science and an MA in Counseling Psychology.  I have also taught University-level (Undergraduate and Graduate) courses in Liberal Arts and Psychology.
