Claudia O'Connell, Neighbor

Personal: Married with three school age children, Durham resident since 2002, Connecticut native. 

Interests: Music, cooking, hiking, horseback riding, reading & writing. 

Backstory: I love to arrange and manipulate words. The challenge to create something new is always there, and the results can be beautiful both in appearance and effect. 

Education & Experience: I earned a bachelor of arts in English from Providence College and worked for ten years as a Marketing & PR Manager. As a freelance writer, I am skilled at getting to the heart of the message and communicating it in a way that generates an emotional, targeted response. In addition to blogging, I also write a column highlighting the importance of clean, renewable energy, recycling and other earth friendly practices.

Why I blog:

I am not prone to think that people can't change. In fact, I actively work at redefining myself every day because I know I can always be kinder, more organized, healthier, funnier - you get the idea. Anyway, I have always loved to write and I have strong opinions. Instinctively, I navigate most things with humor. My blog gives me voice to dissect the ordinary with some of my more unconventional ideas. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoy writing it.

Scope: Freelance Business, Creative & Web Content Writing, Blogging, Ghost Writing and Internet Marketing
