About

As a college senior in 1997, I sold my first magazine story. I was hooked. After working as an English teacher and then as a staff writer and editor at a trade magazine, I became a full-time freelance writer in 2001.

Over the years, my work has been published by a number of consumer, trade and custom magazines and Web sites, and I’ve created content marketing products for a number of small businesses and major corporations. Some of my strengths are telling stories that people want to read and writing practical articles that meet the specific needs of the audience.

I’ve interviewed well-known figures such as Chef Emeril Lagasse and humor writer Dave Barry, as well as the heads of many businesses, universities and school districts. I’ve investigated the employee perks offered by the best employers in the country and the importance of taking vacations. Currently, I write regularly on the topics of personal finance, education, human resources and small business. And I’m always on the lookout for interesting, challenging writing opportunities.

If you need a writer for your publication or content marketing project, I can provide the research, reporting, attention to detail and the right words to tell the story you want to tell and your audience needs to hear. Please contact me to discuss your project.
