My background is in public relations and community outreach. Along with nine years as a television talk show producer and host in Knoxville, Tennessee, I have worked as a staff writer for the County Compass, a local newspaper in New Bern, North Carolina, and provided training in customer service, business ethics, and ADA compliance for a now-defunct management consulting company in Atlanta, Georgia.
Along with my husband and photographer, Simon Lock, and my guide dog, I have traveled to 35 countries on four continents. In what is supposed to be retirement, I am combining my two passions, writing, and travel.
In addition to writing regularly for my blog, I am Travel Contributor for NewBernNow.com a New Bern-based website. My work has been published in Traveling Mom, The Yums, Europe Up Close, Milesgeek, Travel Post Monthly, Hospitality 21, and Epicurean Traveler.
My audience consists of boomers, people with disabilities, and all those who love the idea of expanding the mind and heart through travel.
Over the past six years, we have been hosted by numerous CVBs and tourist bureaus in the U.S. and abroad, including Corning and the Finger Lakes, New York, Gettysburg, and Hershey-Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, Savannah, Georgia, Durham, North Carolina, Costa Brava, Spain, Kracow, Poland, and the Jordan Ministry of Tourism. My goal is to expand the publications for which I write and begin working with brands.
