IntroductionI graduated in Dec. '09 from the Journalism School at CU-Boulder — check out my final project, http://co65plus.com! I'm currently editing a book for a local Colorado author; before that, I did some B2B writing for a local startup. Waaaay back in the 80s I was a technical writer, then was a full-time mom to three kids, and have since been an editorial assistant at a university newspaper (CU's now-defunct Silver and Gold Record) and an editorial intern at a Colorado magazine company, Horse Media Group.
