CONSTRUCTION BACKGROUND

I have worked in construction for over 30 years, not only running the office, and doing the job costing of million dollar projects, but also donning a hard hat and boots and going on job sites.  I have been a freelance writer and freelance journalist for over 40 years writing for companies as well as glossy magazines and newspapers. As a business coach for 7 years, I helped many independent women entrepreneurs brand, market, and grow their businesses while creating balance in their lives.

As a partner in my (deceased) husband’s electrical contracting and building business, I not only handled administrative work, I wrote all the promotional materials, as well as handling contracts and financials. I went regularly to job sites under construction learning about the trades from the ground up.. My husband was a master electrician, who also held a builder’s license and a real estate license.

I purchased all the supplies, tools, and equipment after having researched to determine the best product for the job.

As well as dealing with other contractors and subcontractors, I dealt with insurance agents and mortgage companies and clients building their multi-million dollar dream homes.  I strived to create an environment in any work situation that develops productive working relationships through effective communication and collaboration.  I am here to support your team.

Freelance Construction Writer

As a freelance construction content writer, I bring the boots-on-the-ground experiences that give me a unique qualification.  Added to that is extensive training specifically in how to write a variety of digital content, and employ SEO strategies.

Acknowledged as “The Research Queen”, I balance real-world knowledge with the ability to ferret out the salient and sometimes peculiar details that enhance any project.   I go to the source documents as well as asking questions to find key information to expand and create well-written pieces.  I work with you to create the kinds of content you need, and I produce the content in a timely fashion.

Content Training

Additionally, I have sought education and training to create your content. This dedication allows me to weave human experience backed up by SEO-driven elements to give you full-bodied digital content.

Current Work
