I’m a 20-year veteran publishing executive, instructional designer, graphologist, and president of a successful educational consulting company called Springboard Content & Publishing, LLC. I began my writing career as a reporter and editor, then a corporate/academic writer and trainer, then a publishing executive, and finally a Learning Development business owner. My teams and I have created courses in vast subject areas … from corporate/financial ethics and export control laws to team building and career/personal development ... to workplace harassment and medical privacy to sales and advertising ... to and instructional design and eLearning, and more. And now I add to that list my first children’s book: "The Totally True Stories of Nora Louise: Manners!" I’m a Chicago native living with my husband and menagerie of dogs in Scottsdale, Arizona. Our grown daughter lives in Hollywood pursuing her bliss as a TV screenwriter
