Meet AC Contributor Rebecca Caroll

Interview with Associated Content Contributor Rebecca Caroll

Recently, I had the opportunity to interview Associated Content Contributor Rebecca Caroll. She's had experience in a variety of careers and is a proud parent, both of which are part of what's reflected in her writing. Rebecca joined AC in August of 2009 and is quickly succeeding on AC. My favorite article of Rebecca's is A Simple Christmas: Tips to Bring the True Meaning of Christmas Back to Your Family because too many people get caught up in the gifting and decorating part of Christmas. Mrs. Caroll brings us back down to Earth and reminds us what the season is truly about. Read on to learn more about Rebecca Caroll and please stop by her AC page afterward for some great reading.

How Did You Find Out About Associated Content?
Literally, I read about AC in a magazine article! I've always enjoyed writing and have a few topics about which I am passionate, so I thought I would give it a try!

Is Freelance Writing Your Career?
Interesting question. I have had several careers. For twelve years I was an investment advisor, my first career. Then, I went into our family business in orthopedic surgical supply sales. I loved this, but when our daughter was born, I made the decision to stay home with her. I consider being a stay-at-home mom to be my most important career choice. Once both children were in school, a close personal friend who is an addiction medicine doctor, asked me to help her start her private practice. I work with her 1-2 days per week. I began freelancing because the economy has been affecting my husband's small business. I enjoy writing so much that I intend to expand to other online writing venues! So to answer your question, yes, I suppose it is!

Tell Us About Yourself
I guess I just filled you in on my career history in ample detail! I am married to a wonderful man and we have two incredible children. I am passionate about topics that have changed our life such as adoption and special needs advocacy. My faith is also very important to me. Photography is my favorite hobby, in addition to reading.
