About the Author

Writing has always been my passion. The calling to become a writer especially burned inside of me throughout my high school years. I wanted to major in English and pursue writing in my first college semester. Like too many people, I bought what the world sold me and did not do what my heart told me. I was told that one cannot make a living as a writer. I should go for a degree that there will be a demand for involving the type of work in the particular field I am majoring.

When I entered college, I initially majored in Accounting and ultimately earned a Bachelor's degree in Marketing from Walsh College of Michigan in 1992. Writing was always with me. I adored writing, which helped me with my marketing classes. My professors thought highly of my writing skills. Marketing revitalized me because I often wondered why people did things the way they did (psychographics). I was able to do research and writing, which I loved! I was very eager to pursue marketing as career. After graduation, I encountered many employers and companies that intertwined sales AND marketing in one department. I went to college to pursue a marketing career, not to be a salesman. I became frustrated with too many employers confusing marketing with sales. I entered a few industries, such as Relocation (Real Estate) and Information Technology, but ultimately, they did not satisfy me. I wanted to go back to school and earn a Master's Degree. I earned a Master's of Business Administration, from the University of Phoenix in 2000 while working in the Information Technology field.

In March 2003, I created North Notes LLC!
