Professional Experience
I'm a lifestyle writer and content editor who focuses on interior design, home improvement and travel. As a staff editor for Better Homes and Gardens Kitchen and Bath Ideas magazine, I produced “get the look” pieces and wrote features on kitchen and bath remodels. Editors count on me to report the latest design trends and source fashionable products for their photo shoots. I write features, service pieces and Web copy.
In addition, I report for B2B magazines covering news about design showrooms and home centers.
I love the process of creating a story for the page—online or in print—that captures the reader’s imagination and personal ambition. Better Homes & Gardens publications, Bobvila.com, Fodor's, Los Angeles magazine and SHOP.com are some of my regular clients.
