Rosalinda is a storyteller and a freelance editor that loves young adult, middle grade, picture book, and women’s fiction. Her admiration extends to the non-fiction topics of sport and education.

​

   Prior to founding Word Bouquet, Rosalinda lived her life on the run- as a competitive distance runner.

​

   Somehow the tradition of oral storytelling around the campfire evolved into telling tales at a fast clipped pace among teammates.

​

   “What do you think about when you run?” That was what non-runners asked about solo runs. The answer: she spun tales or edited papers shifting whole paragraphs in her mind.

​

   Oh, and her claim to fame is a twenty-fifth place finish at the Chicago Marathon.

​

   In addition to running, Rosalinda’s career in education provided the opportunity to offer students feedback on writing. Her kaleidoscope of experiences provided decades of expertise in sport, education, and editing.

​

   Rosalinda earned a specialization in developmental editing from the University of Washington and a fiction certificate from prestigious UCLA Extension and graduated with distinction. She also holds a bachelor’s degree in business and a master’s in education.

​

   Rosalinda currently serves on the board of San Diego Professional Editing Network, where she is the treasurer.
