She had a varied career changing jobs almost every year and including a variety of professions from receptionist, secretary, factory manager, insurance advisor, TV sales manager, and just about everything else short of prostitution.
But finally in 1983 she found her long overdue place in the business world ... as a writer. She worked for Reader’s Digest in offices around the world, wrote freelance for magazines & newspapers and had loads of fun as an advertising copywriter for 25 years.
Barbara works currently as a freelance copywriter and is published regularly in newspapers and magazines.view less
