About

I'm a writer and editor who delivers stories that grab and keep readers' attention. My career has spanned print and online journalism, communications and nonprofit programming. Every one of my professional roles has solidified my belief that words matter — and that the right words have the power to change lives.If you can name it, I've written or edited it: enterprise stories, breaking news, how-to books, travel guides, celebrity interviews, academic publications, design features, press releases, fashion spreads, business websites, billboard advertisements, professional biographies, writing style guides. One area I excel: connecting with audiences other overlook. Now that we're on the subject, another area of strength: Maintaining focus on the big picture. Also, collaboration and mentorship. Working together is so much more fun than working apart. I deliver work on time and ego-free. Writing and words themselves are constantly evolving. The editing process is like assembling a puzzle. Once you're done, you have a complete picture to be proud of. Except, in the case of writing, it's not ever a picture of a cat wearing a bonnet.
