For as long as I can remember magic has been a part of my life. I’m not talking about the ‘make-an-elephant-disappear’ or ‘pull-the-rabbit-from-the-hat’ type of magic – although that’s cool – I’m talking about the magic of relationships. Like when you kiss a soulmate for the first time, or hang out with friends and bond over yummy pizza and a rom-com movie. Or when you break up with someone you cared about and got relationship advice from your parents while your heart mended. That type of magic. And coming from a family of five, I grew up competing with my brothers for computer time and video games (as long as they were of the driving variety!). Gamer girl and tech geek in my family. Did I mention I had a competitive streak? Following university, I fell into many varied office-based jobs – insert boring title here! No job ever filled me with passion, so I looked to the web for something that would provide a challenge and a way to replace my day job! I found a great community and training site called Location Rebel, where I could learn everything I needed to make my own way in the world. I started there in August 2011, by June 2012, I’d quit my day job and moved into full time freelance writing! With some of the expertise I gained from working for 15+ years on real life writing projects (read, boring administration jobs!), I founded my own company, determined to bring what I had on offer to similarly minded people who were still in the dark regarding freelance writing and making a successful career out of it, but in a meaningful way. I’ve been called many things, some not worth mentioning here, but really, I’m just good at connecting with people. Showing people that they can do this or anything they put their mind to.
