It’s hard to describe a lifetime of knowledge gained through gumption, grit, and grind. The list below demonstrates the kernels of wisdom that came with craft development.
I’m a disciplined self-starter who’s been working and learning remotely since 2008. My years of experience listed below overlap because I started freelancing while working as a full-time medical transcriptionist and opened a small web agency in 2016 alongside freelance work.

With insatiable curiosity and a desire to constantly improve my skills, I’ve spent most of my life learning. Free webinars and training courses, expert advice on forums, industry-leading blogs, LinkedIn Learning (Previously Lynda)—you name it, I went looking for it to become a productive and successful freelancer. At the end of 2019, I was given the opportunity to finish my degree in a scientific field. I transferred credits from earlier education endeavors and headed for the first milestone—a BSc in Management Information Systems and Business Analytics.
