Deborah Burst
Freelance Writing & Photography

the back woods or hummingbirds fighting over the feeders.

A degree in Media Arts and Business Studies from Tulane University combined with a 30 year career with
Hibernia National Bank and IBM offered the necessary credentials to start Deb's Freelance Writing and
